The Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings new challenges to knowledge acquisition. Objective: Discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on information competence and its importance for the efficient ChatGPT use in informational, academic and scientific demands. Methodological path: The research is characterized as exploratory, uses a qualitative approach and two data collection techniques: bibliographic research and observation. Result: People can use ChatGPT to simple meet (familiarize themselves with a new concept) and complex (summarize data) informational demands. This tool synthesizes content with inaccurate information and "minds" to complete tasks. Conclusions: To use generative AI tools like ChatGPT effectively and strategically, people need to assess their need for information, evaluate the content made available (as it may contain misinformation), ask strategic and assertive questions to direct AI and consult other sources of information. Therefore, information competence, specifically information ethics, is essential to utilize generative AI tools that uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) such as ChatGPT in informational, academic and scientific demands. Keywords: Scientific communication. Information competence. Artificial Intelligence - AI. ChatGPT. Perplexity AI.
