specialized education models could be produced based on ChatGPT’s foundation in the future (Sam Altman)
Background
ChatGPT was launched in November 2022 as a conversational AI developed by OpenAI for providing human-like responses for any natural language prompt As with other generative AI, balancing innovation possibilities with ethical precautions around bias, accuracy, and academic integrity will be crucial.
Chat GPT, is an advanced language model powered by artificial intelligence, has the potential to transform education by serving as a virtual teaching assistant
as it can enhance personalized learning experiences, provide immediate feedback, and improve knowledge retention (Open AI
Current Capabilities
Personalization
Chat GPT can provide learners with feedback and guidance on a one-to-one basis through 24/7 access for support outside classroom (Fidan & Gencel, 2022).
Feedback
Current Capabilities
Assistance
Chat GPT can take on the roles of partners, assistants and even mentors in learning environments (Fidan &Gencel, 2022) it can help teachers by handling routine tasks to allow teachers to focus on complex concepts.
Flexibility
AI chatbots have characteristics of interactivity,flexibility and personalization and it could deal with students requests then give real-time responses via texts, voice or a combination of both (Wu & Yu ,2023)
AI chatbots can save user inputs and more importantly, learn from previous user inputs thus enable improved interaction by providing personalized and adaptive instruction
Cognition
AI chatbots can imitate human cognitive functions, including problem-solving, contextualized reasoning,predicting, planning and decision-making (Wu & Yu ,2023)
Future Capabilities
1) Future AI teaching assistants will be able todynamically generate engaging, multimediaeducational content like videos, games,simulations and conversational explanationstuned precisely to student needs andpreferred modalities .2) Future AI teaching assistants could monitor,participate in and enhance collaborativestudent group learning - evaluatinginteractions, providing prompts, answeringquestions, and ensuring groups progresssmoothly
3) Future AI TAs will be able to understand and reason across different languages and visual contexts (Multimodal) also it will read and understand handwritten answers, identifying mistakes and clarifying concepts. This feature could revolutionize personalized learning, providing instant, tailored feedback to students.(Google Blog on Gemini 2023) 4) Future AI TAs will become a commonplace in every classroom
Limitations
Limitations
- Risk of Hallucination and Misinformation as when they do not work, they fail catastrophically ( Floridi , 2023)
- Risk of over-automation if AI can't match human emotional intelligence
- Environmental costs of these new systems (Dirty Secret of AI)
- Human costs: use of contractors in Kenya, paid less than $2/hour to label harmful content to train ChatGPT created mental problems (Time’s Investigation)
- over-reliance could reinforce existing biases and perpetuate inequalities in education. (Kevin ,2023
OPEN AI AND BIG DATA
Open AI However let students and guardians consent to data collection with the right to opt-out or have records deleted. It also has clear guidelines needed on what data can be collected (Open AI)
Open AI train their GPT models through large amounts of users data. This datafication can result in a datadoppelganger where students are repositioned as cyborgs (Mandy Pierlejewski)
Conclusion
"Realizing the full potential of AI in education requires establishing clear safeguards upfront around data privacy as well asaccessibility, sustainability and accuracy. If deployed conscientiously, AI teaching assistants could soon automate routine tasks, provide adaptive learning supports, assess comprehension, and empower both students and teachers. The future of leveraging such technologies symbiotically appears bright, but relies on continued thoughtful progress and enduring research".
