The New York City education department has banned the use of the AI-powered ChatGPT chatbot. According to the news on the Vice website, the ban will apply to devices and networks used in schools.According to an official who made a statement on the subject, schools in the city will be able to request access to ChatGPT in order to examine artificial intelligence and other technologies. Apart from this, it will not be possible to access the chatbot in public schools.
May blunt children’s learning skills
Jenna Lyle, spokesperson for the New York City education department, explained that they made this decision because they were concerned about the “reliability and accuracy” of their responses, as well as the potential negative impact of the chatbot on students’ learning process.
It was emphasized that ChatGPT provides quick and easy answers to questions, but does not develop children’s problem solving and critical thinking skills, which are necessary in their academic life and throughout their lives.
