Should schools ban AI tools completely?

Many involved people gave their opinion regarding this issue. Let’s start with the CEO of the OpenAI Sam Altman who mentioned that the world should adapt to the new technology. Along with the creator of GPT Zero, a tool that detects ChatGPT plagiarism, he admitted that he opposes banning the software in schools. However, he added that instead of going into the future blindly, every person needs to build the safeguards to enter that future.

Scott Aaronson a researcher at OpenAI, announced that they are working on this issue. The company will start by implementing a watermarking system to notify the person who is reading that the text is AI generator. This system will help to prevent cheating on Homework and will combat AI-generated propaganda.

Last but not least, the New York Times recently published an article given for schools to use ChatGPT as a learning tool. They gave the example of the calculator, students are not always able to use it because they won’t always have one. Just like calculators, AI can be beneficial for teaching students as long as they are using it in a correct way.
