Parents Guide to ChatGPT

Parents_guide_to_ChatGPT_1024x581.jpg

Since ChatGPT was made widely available in November 2022 there has been ongoing debate on how it will affect education. 

Australia’s education ministers will meet on 6 July to discuss the first draft guidelines on the use of AI in schools. The use of ChatGPT varies across school systems.  “Catholic education has not taken a blanket approach to ban the use of ChatGPT in schools,” National Catholic Education executive director Jacinta Collins said while public schools in NSW have banned usage of ChatGPT. 

The Minister for Education, Jason Clare, has asked the House Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training to conduct an inquiry into the use of generative artificial intelligence in the Australian education system. The National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) will make a submission to the inquiry addressing the challenges of AI including privacy, equity, misuse and misinformation, as well as the opportunities to support learning and teaching through the curriculum, student engagement, assessment and automation.  Source NCEC website

Brad Bartlett has written a Parents guide to ChatGPT available on the KIDSLOX website. He notes that to sign up for ChatGPT the user should be 18 years and over; however, there are no tools to prevent underage children accessing the software. 

The guide explains 

  1. What is ChatGPT?
  2. How Does ChatGPT work?
  3. Is AI Safe?
  4. The Negative Effects of AI: What are The Risks of Using ChatGPT?
  5. How can Parents Ensure Their Children have Positive, Safe Experiences With ChatGPT?
  6. Knowledge is Power with Emerging Technology
