Education in times of ChatGPT: danger or opportunity? | NDR.de – Culture

ChatGPT has become an emotive word that sounds both threat and promise. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to automatically generate and communicate with texts – and this has significant consequences, not least for the educational landscape. Changes in writing, teaching, learning with ChatGPT are likely to have a profound impact on practice in schools and universities. Because ChatGPT can take over research, pre-structure work, write entire scientific texts, which often turn out to be stylistically more convincing than some pure human work. But ChatGPT is also unreliable. Some research results are currently still invented. And the human ability to criticize, this individual mixture of experience, emotion and ingenuity, has so far been unattainable for the AI.

So where do we stand on this new path? How revolutionary is all this? What are the dangers for education and the arts, what are the real opportunities – and how might this rapid development continue? Benedikt Stubendorff talks about this with Prof. Dr. Doris Wessels. The mathematician teaches business informatics at the Kiel University of Applied Sciences, she is a recognized expert on the effects of ChatGPT on the educational landscape.
