As educators become more and more time-poor, many are turning to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to help them speed up their work. Schools throughout Australia have recently implemented this technology, using it to create lesson plans and materials, provide feedback, and even educate students in unfamiliar subjects.
The introduction of AI models to classrooms has been met with some concern, however, as many are worried about the potential of students taking advantage of their capabilities to cheat. As a result, most states and territories in Australia have banned the usage of AI models in public schools.
Those educators who have embraced the technology, however, can safely say that AI models such as ChatGPT are helping take the workload off of them. Some teachers, who chose to remain anonymous, told Crikey that they were able to save time and work more efficiently with it.
ChatGPT is a generative AI model that allows users to create and customize their own natural language processing projects. It uses artificial intelligence to increase the speed and accuracy of its machine learning processes, making it a time-saving solution for those in the education industry. The company behind the technology, ChatGPT, has successfully been deployed in several industries, including healthcare, finance and entertainment.
One teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, shared their thoughts on the convenience of ChatGPT: “As teachers we are extremely time-poor and I immediately recognised its potential”. With the help of this artificially intelligent software, teachers have become more easily able to create lesson plans, give feedback to students and even teach unfamiliar subjects.
