Major language models (LLMs) of chatbots such as ChatGPT are
undergoing a formative phase. How this rise of chatbots is affecting the
education sector and the effects of artificial intelligence on teaching and
learning are also being discussed on various topics. Jet boats have been
influencing workplaces and especially the education sector for the past few
months. With the significant potential use of chatbots in higher education, it
is not surprising that students are considering the use of technology and the
use of artificial intelligence sources. Students may try to present the output
generated by jetbots like ChatGPT as their original work and this will affect
the quality of teaching and research. In its place, this is an important and
legitimate concern that not only Pakistan but universities all over the world
are facing. The Russell Group, which is equivalent to the USIV, League in
Britain, has twenty-four elite universities. It has been decided to ban
students from using chatbots such as ChatGPT at the institutions under its
supervision, including Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester, Brisnel and
other countries, as well as for essay writing and coursework in 40 UK
universities. Because students are banned from using Chat GPT, this initial
policy stance on artificial intelligence is one-sided and will surely be
revised in the coming times because the way in which the use of artificial
intelligence is growing cannot be ignored. Nor can there be any escape from it.
Decision makers in the education sector should look at things like artificial
intelligence with open eyes and strategize for the unlimited use of its
capabilities rather than limited use. . Attention is drawn to the fact that the
use of artificial intelligence can revolutionize the fields of education and
research. In this regard, a few universities have adopted a different approach
that should be taken into account. Here's What, Glasgow University and
University College London. It is among the few universities developing
guidelines to allow the use of ChatGPT by students under certain circumstances.
Higher Education in Pakistan has formed a task force on the use of ChatGPT to
develop a policy for its use in universities, but it remains to be seen what
the results will be and whether these guidelines will be implemented in
Pakistan. Will there be an attempt to implement it uniformly on all
universities or not? However, three concerns should be kept in mind in this
regard. The first is that Pakistan lacks skilled teachers to catch copycats through
technology and there is a fear that not only education and research but also
the quality of teaching will deteriorate. The bottom line is that whenever a
policy is formulated in Pakistan, it becomes impossible to revise or modify it.
An important example in the context of higher education is the term track
system of HEC for the appointment and promotion of university faculty members.
Despite the apprehensions, TTS was implemented and it would take nearly fifteen
years for HEC to iron out some of the loopholes. The third and last thing is
that the decision makers related to education at the federal level have the
data related to the universities, but they do not have the knowledge and
experience of the ground realities and situations. How can any decision be
justified in such a case when it is not prepared keeping in mind the facts on
the ground. It is suggested that the Higher Education Commission may use
ChatGPT to determine eligibility for departmental promotion under TTS and the
quality of research and publications can be easily determined through
artificial intelligence. Research papers can be prepared in less time through
chat GPT, here too it would be wise for HEC to embrace technology instead of
chasing it and meet the challenges ahead, in a situation where the world Better
universities have a different point of view about facilities like Chat GPT,
then Dina should also put forward the position adopted by the best universities
of the world and decide accordingly, because education and research in Pakistan
A simple way to standardize is to take into account the strategies of global
universities. Noting that chatbots can be as helpful as one's personal
moderators and can also reduce the student burden on teachers, we see that The
number of students in the classroom is high and it is not possible for the
teachers to give individual attention to each student, so through chatbots
students can carry out education and understanding in a pleasant manner. The
potential uses of chatbots are not wrong. But its stealthy use is wrong. A
technology that has the answer to every question, then these answers are being
obtained in the least time, then it needs to be guided by the students
considering it as a trophy, it will improve the mental health of the students.
They will be more exposed to various aspects of any subject and if the scope of
counseling services accessible is widened, the welfare of the students can be
ensured.
