Which of the following is NOT a way in which ChatGPT can be incorporated and utilized in teaching and learning?

• Generates alternative ways of expressing an idea

• Analyzes student emotions through facial recognition technology

The use of ChatGPT in education poses challenges related to its ...

• Scalability and Accessibility

• Accuracy and Reliability

• Both A and B are correct

• Both A and B are incorrect

Answer explanation

Accuracy and reliability are considered key challenges when ChatGPT is applied in education. Because ChatGPT is trained on a large corpus of unpolished, raw data, it may not be objective and critical inaccuracies have been reported. The efficacy of generative models hinges on the quality and diversity of the data used in their training. If these training datasets encompass biases, these biases inevitably affect the model.
