“Probably, take-home essays are never going to be quite the same again,” the OpenAI chief said in remarks at Keio University.
ChatGPT’s inventor Sam Altman told students in Tokyo on Monday that artificial intelligence technologies will revolutionise education.
This he said will happen same way as calculators did, but they will not replace learning.
ChatGPT – A Calculator For Words
“Probably take-home essays are never going to be quite the same again,” the OpenAI chief said in remarks at Keio University.
“We have a new tool in education. Sort of like a calculator for words.
“And the way we teach people is going to have to change and the way we evaluate students is going to have to change.”

ChatGPT’s ability to generate human-like conversations, writing, and translations in seconds has captivated the world’s attention.
However, it has sparked alarm across several industries, including education.
The fear is that pupils would abuse the tool or turn to it instead of producing unique work.
Altman was in Japan as part of a world tour meeting commercial and political leaders to discuss AI prospects and laws.
It Can Go Very Wrong
He has often asked governments to establish AI rules, saying that “if this technology goes wrong, it can go very wrong.
“The tools we have are still extremely primitive relative to tools we are going to have in a couple of years.
“Monday, again urging safety measures and regulation.”
He felt “positive” about new regulatory frameworks for AI after meeting with international leaders, although he underlined his concerns.
“We will feel super responsible, no matter how it goes wrong, he said.
He also reiterated prior efforts to allay concerns that AI will render many present employment obsolete, but he admitted that “some jobs will go away”.
“I don’t think it is going to quite have the employment impact that people expect,” he added, insisting that “new classes of jobs” will emerge.
“Almost all of the predictions are wrong,” he said.
