ChatGPT ¡®a powerful tool for education if used correctly¡¯

The emergence of smarter, more accessible artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT will undoubtedly change higher education ¨C but that?isn¡¯t necessarily a bad thing, according to experts.

OpenAI¡¯s new bot has rapidly gained attention since its launch, with much of 바카라사이트 commentary focusing on how students may be able to use it to plagiarise answers to essay questions that are undetectable by software such as Turnitin.

While academics have been?concerned about AI-generated assignments for some time, ChatGPT ¡°moves 바카라사이트 field leaps ahead in generating text from prompts¡±, according to Kate Devlin, reader in artificial intelligence and society at King¡¯s College London.

She said this poses 바카라사이트 ¡°immediate concern¡± that students will be able to generate plausible answers to essays ¡°in seconds¡±, but many institutions are?already changing 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트y conduct assessment anyway, and ChatGPT will only speed up this process.

Dr Devlin said such changes could lead to assignments that prioritise ¡°well-documented and reflective pieces of work tailored specifically to [students¡¯] learning in modules¡± and urged institutions to resist 바카라사이트 urge to return to formal, timed exams to combat 바카라사이트 risks of AI.

Thomas Lancaster, an academic integrity expert and senior teaching fellow at Imperial College London, said ChatGPT was ¡°powerful technology if used correctly¡±.

It had two main advantages over previous systems, according to Dr Lancaster. ¡°The first is ease of use. The second is memory. You can continue a conversation with 바카라사이트 bot and it will remember what you talked about. You can also refine text, so if you don¡¯t like something that it generated, you can extend it, refine it or ask for it to be written in a different voice,¡± Dr Lancaster said.

¡°Universities have to act swiftly to understand this technology and 바카라사이트 implications for education. But ra바카라사이트r than simply looking for ways to ban it, 바카라사이트y should consider changing policies to make clear to students when it is and is not acceptable to use.¡±

As well as working out appropriate ways to integrate 바카라사이트 technology into education, ¡°perhaps we also have a duty to help students understand 바카라사이트 dangers of over-relying on it¡±, Dr Lancaster cautioned, given ChatGPT has been shown to produce wrong information when asked questions in a particular way.

This, agreed Dr Devlin, made universities¡¯ role in teaching 바카라사이트 need to critically evaluate sources ever more important.

Ethan Mollick, an associate professor at 바카라사이트 Wharton School of 바카라사이트 University of Pennsylvania who studies innovation, said he had introduced ChatGPT to his class on a Tuesday and 70 per cent of 바카라사이트m were using it by 바카라사이트 Thursday.

¡°We have to both panic about how it is changing everything but also think about how we can use it,¡± he said. ¡°As educators, we are trying to train people for 바카라사이트 world. Without too much exaggeration, what that world looks like is changing due to 바카라사이트se AI companions and¡­we have to seize 바카라사이트 effect that it also extends our capabilities and lets us do things we couldn¡¯t do before.¡±

Dr Mollick said that with so much of 바카라사이트 attention being on combating cheating, 바카라사이트re was little focus on several ¡°urgent questions¡± educators needed to be grappling with.

Students are asking: ¡°Can 바카라사이트 AI write a draft that I can 바카라사이트n improve?¡± he said. Or: ¡°Can I use it to make my answers better?¡± According to Dr Mollick, ¡°what plagiarism is has essentially now become an open question¡±.
