ChatGPT, artificial intelligence and higher education: What do higher education institutions need to know?
ChatGPT is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that has taken the world by storm, reaching 100 million users just two months after its launch. To meet the exceptionally high level of interest in this tool, UNESCO IESALC held a webinar to discuss what are its possibilities and challenges in higher education, a Quick Start Guide and an interactive seminar, which will begin in April 2023.
The webinar was attended by Francesc Pedró and Arianna Valentini, Director and Analyst of the Research and Foresight team, respectively at UNESCO IESALC, and Professor Axel Rivas, Director of the School of Education at the University of San Andrés and Academic Director of the Center for Applied Research in Education San Andrés (Argentina)
After receiving some 3,500 questions from registrants, we asked both ChatGPT and the experts the following questions:
- What are the possible uses of ChatGPT in teaching and learning processes in higher education?
- Why has ChatGPT created concern in the academic world?
- What strategies are you considering incorporating to promote critical thinking in higher education now that ChatGPT exists?
Be sure to check out their answers:
The Quick Start Guide is a short, jargon-free downloadable guide that provides an overview of how ChatGPT works and explains how it can be used in higher education. The Quick Start Guide raises some of the main challenges and ethical implications of AI in higher education and offers practical steps that higher education institutions can take.
