Students can quote ChatGPT in essays as long as they do not pass the work off as their own, international qualification body says appeared on www.businessinsider.com by Beatrice Nolan.

Students taking the International Baccalaureate (IB) will be allowed to use ChatGPT so long as they don’t try to pass the work off as their own.
Matt Glanville, head of assessment principles and practice at the IB, a qualification body that’s popular in Europe, told The Times of London that students would be allowed to quote AI-generated content. He compared the new technology with “familiar” challenges such as the risk of pupils buying essays from the internet.
Many people have expressed fears over ChatGPT’s growing influence in the education sector. One writer who produces assignments for students previously told Insider: “I think ChatGPT has the potential to completely disrupt what I do,” Austin said. Taylor added that demand had “dropped considerably.”
Per The Times, Glanville said essay writing was being profoundly challenged by new technology and “there’s no doubt that it will have much less prominence in the future.” Institutions should try and embrace ChatGPT as an “extraordinary opportunity,” he added.
Several schools and universities have already moved to ban the use of ChatGPT, citing concerns about plagiarism and misinformation. The New York City Department of Education blocked the chatbot from school networks and other US school districts have taken similar action.
The IB said it would work with schools to help students use AI ethically, per The Times. However, Glanville said trying to pass off AI-generated content as original work was an act of academic misconduct.
He told the Times: “The clear line between using ChatGPT and providing original work is exactly the same as using ideas taken from other people or the internet. As with any quote or material adapted from another source, it must be credited in the body of the text and appropriately referenced in the bibliography.”
Representatives for the IB referred Insider back to The Times article when approached for comment.
