Students are using ChatGPT to do their homework. Should schools ban AI tools, or embrace them?

Is the end of homework near? As new powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT take the Internet by storm, teachers concerned with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods. ChatGPT, the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI, is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand, including in a specific style or in several languages, in just a few seconds. The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education, and even researchers. "Young or not, we are all amazed at how quickly and relevantly it responds," Cécile Cathelin, a teacher at a high school in the French city of Tours, told Euronews Next.
