Its exceptional ability to mimic human interaction by utilizing advanced natural language processing techniques has completely transformed how people interact with technology today [1,2]. It offers a highly immersive experience for users; their conversations feel natural and realistic as if they are interacting with another human being [3]. What distinguishes ChatGPT from other chatbots or virtual assistants is its incredible aptitude: when answering questions, it acknowledges user assumptions and challenges them using sophisticated algorithms. This feature significantly contributes to creating valuable insights and enhancing overall learning experiences for the users who engage with ChatGPT [4,5]. Overall, through its remarkable features, powerful machine learning models, and capacity to improve throughout interactions, ChatGPT represents one of the most innovative technologies available currently and continues to evolve every day, thus transforming communication [6]. Its ability to generate accurate responses without additional user input has made it a valuable resource beyond simple inquiries, with users relying on it for academic papers and essays due to its capability to provide supporting references upon request. However, it is important to acknowledge that these references may contain errors, as noted by researchers [7,8]. The remarkable transformation of artificial intelligence technology has revolutionized multiple fields, particularly public policy. Artificial intelligence systems are indispensable tools in policymaking due to their proficiencies in recognizing patterns in vast amounts of information [9]. With these capabilities, policymakers can make more informed decisions precisely based on insights rather than relying entirely on intuition or assumptions. The potential for AI’s continued evolution is immense and wildly anticipated to facilitate unparalleled advancements that could change how we shape our policies. ChatGPT is a promising AI technology that can revolutionize global health policy. It can facilitate communication between humans and machines, enabling vital contributions to complex decision-making processes at all levels of government agencies. However, whether ChatGPT will significantly impact governance regarding efficiency improvements or transparency development within society is unclear. 2.
