Artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT can be used to write essays, speeches and songs
Schools have been told to make children do some of their coursework “in class under direct supervision” amid fears artificial intelligence systems can be used to cheat. The Joint Council for Qualifications , which represents the UK’s major exam boards, has published guidance on “protecting the integrity of qualifications” in the context of AI use.
The guidance for teachers and assessors – which highlights a number of AI chatbots including ChatGPT – suggests “allocating time for sufficient portions of work to be done in class under direct supervision to allow the teacher to authenticate each student’s whole work with confidence”. Ofqual’s chief regulator Jo Saxton said ChatGPT has made traditional examined conditions “more important than ever”. Speaking to headteachers at a conference earlier this month, she said pupils should be asked to complete their coursework and essays under exam conditions in schools following the rise in the use of AI technology.
On ChatGPT, Christodoulou said: “It’s very good at basically cheating, giving students essays that are not their own. It is very good at that and it can do that at scale and rapidly.
