In the context of the rapidly changing educational landscape due to the development and implementation of AI in almost all areas of life, ChatGPT has become an important topic for discussion. The use of ChatGPT in the educational process gives rise to a number of ethical issues related to academic honesty and independence in learning. This issue is most relevant among students of dual-degree programs at Kozybayev University and the University of Arizona. As part of the study, a literature review and a survey of 86 first- and second-year students in the areas of biotechnology, information systems and pedagogy of dual-degree programs were conducted. The results showed that most students use ChatGPT to complete educational tasks in the academic process. Some respondents note their dependence on AI and the need to verify the reliability of the information received. To increase students’ ethical awareness, an activity using the AI Incident Database (AIID) was proposed within the English language classes. As a result, students noted the importance of critical thinking when working with AI and the need for the constant implementation of such educational practices in the educational process.
