As April draws to a close, universities around the country are bracing for the impact of ChatGPT on upcoming summer exams. ChatGPT is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat bot that can generate comprehensive and nuanced written responses to questions, including essays, cover letters and reports – even in the style of famous authors. While these bots are very skilled in writing, their factual knowledge is limited to the year 2021, and their use has raised concerns about human rights and bias issues.
Ciara Bracken-Roche, assistant professor in Maynooth University’s school of Law and Criminology, told Buzz that students have already been using ChatGPT for this academic term. Although the bots can be beneficial for education, as they can be used to write example sentences, she noted their use for writing essays can be problematic.
In an effort to prevent students from using AI to cheat on their exams, universities are utilizing counter-technology like plagiarism systems to detect when ChatGPT is used. AI chat bots are rapidly advancing, and the foreseeable quandaries surrounding them are only going to increase.
ChatGPT is an AI company based in the United States that was founded by a team of artificial intelligence scientists and engineers. Its goal is to build intelligent conversations that drive products and help customer service teams. The company has a strong focus on providing customer service solutions as well as providing AI-centered customer support solutions.
Simon DeDeo, one of the co-founders of ChatGPT, is a well-respected expert on the intersection of machine learning and human behavior. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in computer science and worked for a few years in academic research in artificial intelligence before co-founding ChatGPT. He has since also done some consulting for NATO, assisting them in developing AI for their operations in Afghanistan. DeDeo is passionate about using AI for the betterment of humanity and is determined to make ChatGPT the best AI conversation tool on the market.
