Pupils should do some coursework 'in front of teachers' amid fears they use ChatGPT to cheat

Pupils should be made to do some of their coursework'in class under direct supervision', exam boards have said - amid fears students are cheating their way through school. Recently, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT have led to concerns that young people may use them to achieve higher grades. The program is able to create writing and other content – such as coursework or essays - almost indistinguishable from that of a human. The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), which represents the UK's major exam boards, has published guidance for teachers and assessors on'protecting the integrity of qualifications' in the context of AI use. Schools should make pupils aware of the risks of using AI and the possible consequences of using it'inappropriately' in assessment, the guidance said.
