ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework assignment (任务).
You can ask it to write stories and emails, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks and devices (设备), CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments.
Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block the use of ChatGPT.
However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers.
Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor (副校长) for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible ( 明 智 的 ). "What we need to do is "adapt our learning, teaching and examinations". That way, we can "have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool". he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university.
A. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.
B. ChatGPT is a useful tool.
C. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
D. He thinks that AI is a tool people will use.
E. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不准确的) information.
