SINGAPORE — Schools and education authorities in Australia are at odds over how to tackle a new artificial intelligence (AI) program, which has been blocked in several states.
In the past week, Queensland and Tasmania have joined the most populous state, New South Wales (NSW), in banning access to ChatGPT in state schools on the grounds that it could be used as a tool for cheating on homework and assessments.
ChatGPT, which was unveiled in November, is an application that permits users to produce text based on queries and instructions.
