In today's era where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly present, ChatGPT, the new language model which understands natural language and generates responses to user queries, is finding numerous applications in various branches of science and across many fields, including education. ChatGPT offers many possibilities for application at all levels of education, particularly in higher education. Such a system can serve as a learning aid, assistant in searching and translating literature, help with text composition and aid in planning and designing various activities for educational process. However, students should approach the generated information with caution and should check further in the literature to avoid inaccurate or insufficiently credible data. Additionally, ethical considerations arise, along with concerns about preserving academic integrity, when using ChatGPT for learning and studying, due to the risk of plagiarism, theft, and cheating. This research explores the use of ChatGPT in this context, investigating students' opinions and attitudes towards using the system as a learning aid, considering all the aforementioned aspects of the possibilities and dangers of ChatGPT. The research results indicate that the majority of surveyed students have used or are using ChatGPT for specific purposes in their academic pursuits, such as literature search and translation, assistance in learning, and paper writing. However, they do not rely solely on the information provided by ChatGPT and they ensure additional verification from relevant sources, which has proven to be useful and necessary for the preservation of academic integrity. One part of the students believes that academic integrity may be compromised by using ChatGPT, but they also think that if users responsibly utilize the system, it is possible to implement it in education and use it as a learning aid rather than a tool for cheating or plagiarism.
