Abstract

The OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3, or Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer was released in November 2022 without significant warning, and has taken higher education by storm since. The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot has caused alarm for practitioners seeking to detect authenticity of student work. Whereas some educational doomsayers predict the end of education in its current form, we propose an alternate early view. We identify in this commentary a position where educators can leverage AI like ChatGPT to build supportive learning environments for students who have cultivated good character. Such students know how to use ChatGPT for good, and can engage effectively with the ChatGPT application. In building our ChatGPT argument, we acknowledge the existing literature on plagiarism and academic integrity, and consider leadership as a root support mechanism, character development as an antidote, and authentic assessment as an enabler. In doing so, we highlight that while ChatGPT – like papermills, and degree factories before it – can be used to cheat on university exams, it can also be used to support deeper learning and better learning outcomes for students. In doing so, we offer a commentary that offers opportunities for practitioners, and research potential for scholars.

道德聊天需要领导力GPT：使用人工智能（AI）的性格、评估和学习

OpenAI的ChatGPT-3，或Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer，于2022年11月发布，没有任何重大警告，此后在高等教育领域掀起了风暴。人工智能（AI）驱动的聊天机器人引起了从业者的警觉，他们试图检测学生作品的真实性。尽管一些教育末日论者预测当前形式的教育会结束，但我们提出了另一种早期观点。我们在这篇评论中确定了一个立场，即教育工作者可以利用像ChatGPT这样的人工智能，为培养出良好品格的学生建立支持性的学习环境。这些学生知道如何永远使用ChatGPT，并且能够有效地参与ChatGPT应用程序。在构建我们的ChatGPT论点时，我们承认现有的关于剽窃和学术诚信的文献，并将领导力视为一种根本支持机制，将性格发展视为解药，将真实评估视为一个推动者。在这样做的过程中，我们强调，虽然ChatGPT——就像之前的造纸厂和学位工厂一样——可以用来在大学考试中作弊，但它也可以用来支持学生更深入的学习和更好的学习结果。在这样做的过程中，我们提供了一个评论，为从业者提供了机会，为学者提供了研究潜力。
