Nguyen 1 Chuong Nguyen Professor Andrew Fields English 1120 26 September 2023 How Artificial Intelligence Affect Modern Society’s Education With the rapid development of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually become a part of individuals' lives. A typical application of AI, ChatGPT has the ability to have a strong impact on many fields, especially education. At the heart of today's discussions whether in newspapers or social networks, ChatGPT seems to have never been absent from it. Even in everyday conversations with people around, I often encounter debates about whether it is positively or negatively affecting education. As a student, the use of technology in the learning process is something I often face. Therefore, applying new AI technology like ChatGPT to education is easier said than done. Based on personal experiences, this AI assistant has both pros and cons, but it is increasingly spreading to every corner of the education sector. Moreover, it has generated enormous speculation among academic stakeholders, many of whom are researchers and educators. Understanding its impact on education can help us use this tool in the most effective and healthy way. This led me to start researching this topic further. With the initial information, I realize that there are really many issues that need to be discussed surrounding one of the most modern applications of this AI. During my research, I found two opposing opinions on the Bill of Right Institute on whether ChatGPT should be banned in the classroom. One believes that the use of ChatGPT in learning should be banned and another believes that it should be applied to support learning (Bill of Right Institute). Those who support banning this AI in the classroom argue that it poses a threat to traditional learning,

They also mentioned the possibility that using it would lead to increased plagiarism in essay writing (Bill of Right Institute). On the contrary, those who believe that ChatGPT should not be banned in the classroom believe that adapting to new technology applications is necessary. Although it can provide information, students still need guidance from teachers to learn how to think critically, thereby preventing abuse and promoting the correct use of this tool by students. Damian's article points out that the common fear is that students may begin to abuse ChatGPT thereby reducing academic integrity. He also stated that "ChatGPT as an essential part of pedagogy and research", so the most important thing is maximizing its opportunities while minimizing the challenges to academic integrity (Eke). With the information collected, we can see that using this AI assistant raises both negative and positive concerns. It helps students better access the source of knowledge and also has the ability to erode the ability to learn. In addition, I also found conflicting opinions to clarify this issue. In "ChatGPT is not a tool for learning. It must be banned in class", Ravi Panguluri argued that ChatGPT does more harm than good. He stated “With nearly 90 percent of students already admitted to having used ChatGPT to do class assignments for them, it’s abundantly clear this technology will stunt students’ development” (Panguluri). Currently, students are using this kind of artificial intelligence to write essays, do homework, and take tests. Students can take ideas from this tool then rewrite it, which makes plagiarism checkers difficult to check (Panguluri). Additionally, the data on ChatGPT is uneasy to verify for its reliability and cannot be considered as a credible reference source. It can lead to deviations in students' knowledge. Riva represents one side of this topic. He believes that the use of ChatGPT in studying should be banned because it causes students to lose their creativity, increases the problem of plagiarism, and uses unofficial

Nguyen 3 sources. Although my primary sources do not fully support this, it is clear that its impact on learning has negatively raised issues related to academic integrity. In “Reflection on whether Chat GPT should be banned by academia from the perspective of education and teaching” written by Hao Yu, Yu argued that it is a powerful tool that can help support education. The tool is capable of automatically generating a variety of texts without much human intervention, making it an important resource for educators and students (Yu). In addition, students can use it to self-study, easily access and explore knowledge more deeply. According to Yu, Professor Bhaskar Vira at the University of Cambridge pointed out that university students should make the most of artificial intelligence technology, such as Chat GPT, and should not be limited (Yu). This technology can help students master knowledge better and improve learning efficiency. Yu also emphasized that it is important to teach students how to use this technology correctly and responsibly to ensure that their learning process is meaningful and effective. His argument represents the other side of the issue. He believes that this AI assistant should be integrated into the learning process because it brings outstanding benefits. The perspective of Yu seems to align with one of my primary sources about students being able to apply ChatGPT well in their learning under the guidance of teachers. Yu's stance on this issue shows that he positively evaluated ChatGPT's potential for education as well as wishes to focus attention on its proper use rather than banning it because of risks. I believe that the application of ChatGPT in education is an issue that needs attention. The two opposing arguments in my primary sources show the importance and complexity of the issue. Whether or not to ban the use of this technology in the learning process is decided mainly based on the effects it causes. While I agree with Riva that it can increase cheating problems and reduce students' academic integrity, Riva's focus on the potential risks of the problem ignores its
