Is AI-based ChatGPT beneficial to the education sector or is detrimental? Here are the specifics
The AI chatbot, ChatGPT was developed by an AI research company based in San Francisco. It will be available in November 2022 and can have conversations about everything from philosophy to history, generate lyrics, and suggest changes to code for computer programming. 100 million people used it within two months of its launch. Artificial intelligence, or AI, has a significant impact on human life. ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), one of the most recent AI tools developed in the United States, gained popularity recently because it sparked a heated debate about how it affects education and whether or not it benefits students. Educationists recommend using it to simplify routine tasks for students, but avoid becoming reliant on it or a slave to it because they worry that doing so could hinder learning.
This tool has been banned in one of Bengaluru’s universities, as well as many schools, colleges, and universities in New York, according to a few educators. Many people in Hyderabad, whether students, teachers, or professors, are unaware of the widespread use of ChatGPT. However, they are concerned that this could present a significant obstacle to teaching in the future. The race between ChatGPT and education can be taken to next level with more ideas.
“Artificial Intelligence is not going to stop with ChatGPT or any other AI technology-based platform; it is going to become a necessity to avail in the future,” said educationist Prof. Srinivasulu. If a student becomes overly dependent on it to write an essay or solve a basic numerical problem that is incorrect, we can simply take an idea from it and express it in our own words. The user needs to exercise discretion when using it, and they should be clear about its modes. This ought to be utilized exclusively as an instrument for fundamental data. Ahmed Khan, an educationist and government school teacher stated, “ChatGPT can help teachers streamline their lessons and provide their student’s wide information in a particular subject, especially this is going to be a boon to language and mathematics teachers or professors.” Students should not be completely dependent on it. Students conducting research with ChatGPT face real challenges due to the risks of plagiarism, lack of originality, and excessive reliance on the model. As a result, educators should instruct students on how to properly utilize this application.”
“This tool is going to disrupt the education sector,” said Dr. A Patrick, a professor of commerce at Osmania University, when asked about how this tool will affect education. With the invention of this tool, it has been observed that students have become dependent on it, but no such incidents have been reported in Telangana. Students are always anxious when given projects or assignments. Normally, Google has assisted people in getting closer to the information, but this tool is very clear and gives answers that are very close to the truth. It almost resembles human thinking. In the coming days, this tool may impede students’ natural thinking processes at school and in college. He added that more advanced AI tools will present several challenges in the future because we cannot stop their spread into the education sector.
As with any technology, there may be security issues to take into consideration.
Pros:
The Education Sector: The ability of the education sector to quickly adapt and incorporate technology into its systems is well-known. Students can actively engage with their curriculum by using interactive learning modules, quizzes, and other features of ChatGPT’s conversational capabilities. Additionally, these AI chatbots can provide students with immediate assistance and provide immediate feedback on the content and answers.
Cons:
The accuracy of chatbots powered by AI is only as good as the data they are trained on, so inaccurate results will result from inaccurate data.
