Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently expanded its applications to almost all areas of human activity. Its ability to identify and predict language patterns has transformed academic and professional writing by empowering the creation, editing, and translation of texts. The article looks at the impact of AI in the context of specialized writing studies. After a brief overview of the literature on AI as a professional and learning tool, the article focuses on AI use in the various phases of (teaching) writing. The results of a small survey on the attitude of a group of students towards AI are presented in section 4, exploring both challenges and opportunities of using GPTs as resources for the teaching and learning of writing. Creativity and accuracy are seen as key issues. The paper closes with brief conclusions on the role of AI in specialized writing.
