In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies that take on human abilities or jobs have become a current issue. ChatGPT, a chatbox developed by the OpenAI artificial intelligence company, has been one of the important developments in this field. Educational environments that are directly affected by these technological developments have gained a new dimension. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies to the service of the whole world and their use in the educational environment has made it necessary to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the current situation, the opportunities it offers and the threats it creates. The aim of the research is to examine the use of ChatGPT in education with SWOT analysis. A qualitative research method was used in order to reveal the thoughts of the participants about the use of ChatGPT in education.

The data was analyzed by content analysis and within the scope of the research, the views of the participants on the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the use of GPT in education are presented in written and visually.
