If you have been using twitter recently I bet that from the last 10 tweets 5 of them are linked to AI and the rise of chatGPT. Looking at those tweets AI tools are going to change the world as we know it. This is even more significant in the case of Education and in particular in Higher Education where most of the traditional methods of assessments are based on essay that consists on pieces of written work where students have to answer questions in a specific number of words. A lot of messages that I hear from institutions, and normally from traditional institutions, is that we need to ban chatGPT as this is a danger and a temptation to student to cheat and create this contractual cheating situation were students are submitting work that is not they original work. I think that this view is completely wrong and it is just a way to avoid the problem without thinking first why there is a problem and second what is actually AI and the possible benefits that can bring to education, learning outcomes and yes to assessments.
