Recently, Queensland became the first state to suspend ChatGPT in schools

Despite reservations from artificial intelligence (AI) academics regarding the efficacy of such measures, ChatGPT will be banned in state schools in Queensland, Australia, joining New South Wales (NSW) in this action. The NSW Department of Education will restrict the technology via a firewall, according to early Sunday, Jan. 22, media reports. This comes as concern about the use of bots to cheat on exams grows. On student smartphones and school networks in NSW, AI apps like ChatGPT will be prohibited, making it difficult to use them during school hours. The Queensland Department of Education is also prohibiting ChatGPT until it can be fully examined for suitability in a school context, as The Guardian reported on Sunday.

However, Victoria's Department of Education has decided against enforcing a ban. The organization has stated that it would take into account any essential actions and would like to keep an eye on the development of AI. When given a command or query, ChatGPT may generate text on any subject. The ability to create human-like replies that elude plagiarism detection has inspired enthusiasm about its potential to help some students and worry about its potential for abuse. An equivalent ban was implemented in New York City schools due to worries about its detrimental impact on student learning. And now, a number of institutions in the UK and Australia are attempting to offset the growth of ChatGPT by switching back to paper-and-pencil exams with more in-person testing.

The Islamic College of Brisbane announced on Saturday, January 21, that it will modify its course offerings for the current academic year in order to incorporate ChatGPT as a teaching resource. Sydney Catholic Schools made it known that there would be no ban. According to Brisbane Islamic College CEO Ali Kadri, the technology may unlock students' creativity, provide individualized instruction, and better prepare students to collaborate with AI systems as adults. A complete prohibition on this technology, according to Dr. Stefan Popenici of Charles Darwin University, would be the worst course of action since it would be a squandered opportunity.
