Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issues of using generative AI tools and Large Language Models in education and research from two viewpoints. First, it presents an overview of existing regulatory documents concerning AI tools at the EU level and the lack thereof in Bulgaria. Then it focuses on users’ perception and understanding of AI tools through an overview of available video materials of instructional character, with a special focus on (non)existing ethical concerns, as well as software producers’ perspectives on the affordances and weaknesses of the technology. We conclude that there is an urgent need to create guidelines/rules for the use of AI systems in relevant fields and recommend that the Ministry of Education and Science create guidelines to be implemented by educational and research institutions and publishers.
