Twenty students from the University of Strasbourg (Unistra), who had cheated using the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT During a distance exam, he had to retake it in person, we learned from the campus on Friday.
The original online test was in the form of a multiple-choice quiz (MCQ) and focused on Japanese history, the university said, confirming information from the regional newspaper The Latest News from Alsace (DNA).
The results, however, showed “cheating” in ChatGPT In the responses of the “twenty students” who have had to “catch up” this week in person, we told Unistra.
“We will act on a case-by-case basis in case of cheating, in accordance with what is currently provided for in the texts,” the University said in its press release. “This is a difficulty that concerns everyone involved in education.”
Concern of the educational community
Designed by Californian start-up OpenAI and released to the public in November, ChatGPT It allows you to automatically generate texts (dissertations, advertisements, etc.) or lines of computer code on demand in a few seconds.
It arouses concern in the educational community, which fears that it will be used as a tool to cheat or plagiarize by students during exams, but also for their homework. One of the founders of OpenAI, billionaire Elon Musk, tweeted precisely in early January: “It’s a new world. Bye-bye homework!”
ChatGPT and other artificial intelligences are now banned from schools and universities around the world, such as Sciences-Po Paris.
The Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, even mentioned more global measures. “We will have to intervene in this, we are thinking about the correct way to intervene,” he told France Inter on Thursday.
