AI in school lessons: ChatGPT as a teacher

"At Hessian (Germany) schools, students could soon learn with ChatGPT. The Ministry of Education is working with other countries to develop a corresponding system for teaching.

Despite critical voices, schools in Hesse are to use artificial intelligence (AI) to learn in the future.

"The use of AI applications in the classroom, including through ChatGPT, can support students individually in their learning process," says the Ministry of Education.

With just a few clicks, chatbots like ChatGPT spit out a generated text for each request. AI-based applications are intended to improve the individual care situation of schoolchildren.

Relief for teachers

Hesse is therefore developing an "intelligent tutorial system" together with other states for use in the classroom, the Ministry of Education announced. At some point, the students are to be provided with a “learning model for various subjects”. However, the project is still in the early stages.

The programs are not only a support for the children and young people, "but also a relief for the teachers".

The applications are seen as a further development of digitally supported teaching. Despite risks such as misinformation, the use of AI applications has the potential to improve work processes."

 

For us Lithuanians, it is important to remind that ChatGPT is free.  

 

ChatGPT is a very good explainer. Because each student does not understand different things, ChatGPT can be used for personalized learning.
