AI’s ChatGPT has raised concerns in recent years with how accessible their platform is to the vast population of students. Teachers and students both have different opinions on how it should be used and dealt with in the school setting.

Nationwide there have been questions in schools: how has ChatGPT been misused in schools and what can it mean for the future of education? Students believe it will improve their education, as it creates a new way of understanding within the current curriculum. Even a portion of teachers believe that it can improve critical thinking, and furthermore, problem solving. Some teachers believe that ChatGPT should not be banned in schools because it can significantly improve students’ quality of learning.

Other teachers, though, think differently about chat GPT because they “fear the program threatens academic integrity, encouraging new methods of cheating and plagiarism”. Using AI as the main source of information, and utilizing the generator’s responses as their own; to say the least it all depends on how AI can be used.

AI can help students learn a topic quickly, and to learn how different things function. but it can also hinder students’ learning when they rely solely on the program. ChatGPT  and its future in the education system all depends on how it can be used for education, and how it is used ethically in the classroom.
