How will AI chatbots like ChatGPT affect higher education? - Technology Org

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot, continues to have internet users abuzz, given its ability to answer prompts on a stunning variety of subjects, to create songs, recipes, and jokes, to draft emails, and more. "It's amazing to have this technology do in seconds what it takes many of us hours to do," says Deborah Rossen-Knill, executive director of the University of Rochester's Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program and a professor of writing studies. Those endless possibilities, however, have faculty and administrators in higher education expressing anxiety as well as awe, because ChatGPT also can write essays and code, answer homework questions, and solve math problems. "We're all trying to figure out how it fits into the existing landscape of higher education," says Rachel Remmel, assistant dean and director of the University's Teaching Center. "Everyone is talking about it."
