Australian Universities are Bringing Back Pen and Paper to Stop Students Using AI in Exams

A chatbot called ChatGPT launched in November last year.Experts have described it as a ‘tipping point’ in AI technology. It responds to natural language questions on any topic and gives in-depth answers that read as if they were written by a human. ChatGPT can hold a conversation, write marketing copy or debug code. It has written fake scientific reports that have fooled scientists. It has even been used to write a children’s book. And while some educators see ChatGPT as an educational tool of the future, others are concerned about its potential for plagiarism.
