The impact of ChatGPT, an AI program that provides well-formulated answers to questions, has attracted attention in Kenya. It has been explored for use in classrooms by educators and students.
Some students use it with caution and are advised to use it effectively. ChatGPT has sparked both excitement and concern in the Kenyan education system, with fears that it could lead to laziness and dependence on technology.
However, some educators advocate for the integration of technology to support learning tools in the classroom. While ChatGPT can improve writing skills, it should not replace a teacher’s lesson.
Furthermore, research suggests that the rapid advancement of generative AI may result in digital minds that are difficult to control or predict.
