SAN FRANCISCO ¨C OpenAI, whose generative AI products initially raised fears of widespread cheating on homework, is now exploring how it can get its popular ChatGPT chatbot into classrooms, according to a senior executive.
OpenAI¡¯s chief operating officer, Brad Lightcap, said at a conference in San Francisco that the company will form a team to explore educational applications of a technology that has threatened to upend industries, stoked new legislation and become a popular learning tool.
¡°Most teachers are trying to figure out ways to incorporate (ChatGPT) into the curriculum and into the way they teach,¡± Lightcap said at the INSEAD Americas Conference last week. ¡°We at OpenAI are trying to help them think through the problem and we probably next year will establish a team with the sole intent of doing that.¡±
