This study examines both the opportunities and challenges of including ChatGPT in education from the perspective of middle and high school teachers. The main objective is to highlight not only the challenges posed by AI but also the potential benefits of AI in education, as negative opinions about ChatGPT are more commonly heard. The study applies the epistemological perspectives of sociocultural and pragmatism to gain a deeper understanding of teachers’ views on the opportunities and challenges that ChatGPT can bring to education. The results show that ChatGPT offers several opportunities as well as challenges, which are explained in more detail in the study. The most interesting finding is that critical thinking emerges as a common factor in the teachers’ opinions, the ability to critically evaluate information has become more important with the introduction of ChatGPT. Teachers believe that ChatGPT can serve as a valuable complement in education, provided that students learn to use the tool in a critical and responsible manner. This can enhance students’ critical thinking and analytical skills, which are crucial for their development.
