Abstract

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) in combination with easy-to-use interfaces such as ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Google’s Bard represent both a Herculean task and a sublime opportunity for Business and Information Systems Engineering . The technology and its applications already have considerable impact in many domains directly related to the design, operation, and application of information systems. In this editorial, we seek to explore this new reality as researchers, practitioners, and legislators will – in some form or another – have to deal with it. Our goal is to provide insights and encourage research in this new, exciting, and rapidly developing field.

  • Assessment and evaluation emerged as the primary pattern, with faculty using GenAI to generate NCLEX-style questions and provide automated student feedback.

    “Assessment and evaluation emerged as the primary pattern, with faculty using GenAI to generate NCLEX-style questions and provide automated student feedback”

    From Patterns, advances, and gaps in using ChatGPT and similar technologies in nursing education: A PAGER scoping review (2025) · cites this paper as Teubner et al., 2023

    The section “Most of it is yet to come” discusses how LLMs may affect the design and evaluation of assignments, not an observed primary pattern of faculty use. Searches for NCLEX-style questions and automated student feedback found no passage addressing those uses or identifying assessment and evaluation as the primary pattern. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Experts in our study voiced concerns that ChatGPT and other LLMs have the potential to widen the digital divide between researchers who possess technical know-how and researchers who do not.

    “In line with scholars such as Teubner et al. (2023), experts in our study voiced concerns that ChatGPT and other LLMs have the potential to widen the digital divide between researchers who possess technical know-how and researchers who do not.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
