According to the decision of the New York Department of Education, ChatGPT will not be used in schools due to some concerns. Here are the details...
ChatGPT, developed by the San Francisco-based company OpenAI, is an artificial intelligence that can chat with its users on a wide variety of topics. The robot, which has increased its popularity in recent days, has created controversy on many issues and came to the fore with a new ban. So much so that ChatGPT is banned in some schools.
ChatGPT banned in New York schools!
The New York City Department of Education has banned ChatGPT over concerns that the artificial intelligence-based robot will harm students' education. The robot will no longer be accessible on networks and devices within schools in New York. According to department spokesperson Jenna Lyle, such a decision was made because the security and accuracy of the content are not certain.
Lyle made the following statements in his statement:
“This decision is driven by potential negative impacts on students' education and concerns about the safety and accuracy of the content. While the tool can respond quickly and easily to questions, it does not develop the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities necessary for academic and lifelong success.”
It is not yet clear whether this decision will be taken in other cities as well. However, according to many educators, this artificial intelligence prevents students from developing skills such as thinking and problem-solving. The most distinctive features of ChatGPT are that anyone can access and answer questions in a human-like language. The tool can discuss a wide variety of topics using only data available on the internet.
However, ChatGPT also contains common errors found in all new-generation artificial intelligence language systems. Because he only uses data available on the internet, his answers often include judgments such as sexism and racism. In addition, he can give wrong answers on many issues. For this reason, many educators are concerned about the use of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT in education.
Aside from this view, another part of the view is that in the future, ChatGPT may adapt to education in a similar way to past technologies such as Wikipedia. Still, it seems like it will take time for these technologies to progress. Therefore, measures such as banning AI-assisted assignments are likely in the near future.
