Globe says Microsoft-backed ChatGPT good for students

2024-04-01 08:03 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, April 1, edition that many university professors are concerned with students using Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Globe's guest columnist Ignacio Cofone writes that when teaching artificial intelligence regulation and privacy law at McGill University, he encourages his students to use it. He says teaching them how to use generative AI thoughtfully and ethically improves their writing, enhances accessibility, trains critical thinking and shows them the tools they will need when they leave the classroom. Effective writing is fundamental for law students, and correct use of ChatGPT can improve writing skills. Generative AI can provide students with instant feedback on their writing, highlighting areas where they may need to improve clarity, coherence or flow. It can help students make their arguments more concise and structure their essays more effectively. This can foster an iterative approach to writing that is impossible without a personal writing coach, leading to better-written assignments. Some worry that using ChatGPT will diminish students' critical thinking, but the opposite can be true when it is used thoughtfully -- that is, when critical thinking is applied.
