ChatGPT

What students need to know

ChatGPT has the potential to transform a wide range of industries and applications. However, college students should be aware of the limitations and biases of AI chatbots, and critically evaluate the outputs generated by these models.

Because ChatGPT and other AI models are trained on text data from the internet, they can reflect the biases and stereotypes that are present in the data. For example, a model trained on text data that contains sexist or racist language may generate outputs that are biased in these ways.

To ensure the appropriate and effective use of text generators, students should be aware of the risks associated with their use, including plagiarism, lost knowledge, technology limitations,  misinformation, and privacy concerns. To avoid these risks, approach the use of these technologies with caution and a critical eye, and always ensure that the text you submit for assignments and projects is original.
