This systematic review examines the potential benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in Physics education using the PRISMA approach and SWOT analysis. We examine the available empirical studies from November 2022 up to the present on the capabilities of ChatGPT and how to use it in the Physics education setting. Because of the novelty of the topic, despite an extensive database search, only 11 empirical studies were found and coded. This indicates that this progressive topic requires further exploration and investigation. The findings of this review suggest that the recent Chat GPT-4 was found to achieve almost 100% accuracy in FCI and it can demonstrate the preconceptions of different cohorts, thus it can be useful in developing and pilot-testing concept inventories. Another notable advantage for students, ChatGPT can be used in Physics development tasks, gives learners instant feedback, can automatically generate an exercise related to learners’ difficulty, offers hints instead of giving an explicit solution, and can be a virtual study companion. Despite its usefulness, it is important to note the threats and challenges it poses such as AI hallucinations which students should be aware of, and it exhibited inconsistencies in a problem-solving approach that suggests the need for human intervention in AI-Chatbots assisted learning. The review offers insights and suggestions for future research to further advance the knowledge in leveraging and practice of using AI-Chatbots in Physics education.
