[2026 广东广州调研]ChatGPT, a smart AI
chatbot tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 per cent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task.
Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes, 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, public schools in New York City banned students from using ChatGPT on the networks and devices.
The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on tasks. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.
"It does not build critical-thinking or problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success," said Jenna Lyle from the New York City Department of Education.
Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to prevent the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules—how both students and teachers use it. They have no plans to completely ban the tool now.
Bhaskar Vira, from the Cambridge University in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not reasonable. "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is to make our learning, teaching and examinations suitable for a new use," he said.
