The decision to block access to the AI service from its servers was an interim measure, and was due to ChatGPT’s terms of use, which specifies that users must be at least 18 years of age, a spokesperson from the department said.
“The department is undertaking further analysis of the implications of these emerging technologies and is preparing advice for schools,” they said.
ChatGPT is a free online tool that generates text in response to a prompt, including articles, essays, jokes and even poetry, which has gained wide popularity since its debut in November.
It has also become a topic of debate, as worries grow in academic and teaching circles that its tools could enable widespread cheating.
In response to these worries, OpenAI, the creator of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, has released an “imperfect” software tool to identify text generated by artificial intelligence.
