Bengaluru university bans ChatGPT after students found using AI tool for exams, assignments and lab tests

ChatGPT’s growing popularity is giving a hard time to the educators. As per a Hindustan Times report, the university has not only banned ChatGPT, it has also banned other AI-based tools such as GitHub Co-pilot and Black Box. “We have issued an advisory to all departments in the university and banned a few AI tools like ChatGPT as students might use them in exams or to complete their assignments. The advent of AI tools like ChatGPT could lead to a lack of critical thinking and creativity among students. Not only is the AI tool hazardous for young learners, it has instilled fear among professionals like writers, engineers and coders as ChatGPT can write effortlessly and can code in blink of an eye.
