This blog post is based on the interventions of Dr Francesc Pedró, Director, UNESCO IESALC and Dr Axel Rivas, Director of the School of Education at the University of San Andrés and Academic Director of the Applied Education Research Centre San Andrés, Argentina, during the UNESCO IESALC webinar ChatGPT, inteligencia artificial y educación superior held on 17 April 2023. It also draws from UNESCO IESALC's publication, ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education—Quick Start Guide.
Achieving 100 million users within two months of being launched in late 2022 and with around one billion interactions each month, ChatGPT has brought artificial intelligence, or AI, to the world's attention.
The impact of ChatGPT on higher education has been immediate and divisive, with a number of higher education institutions already banning it over fears of plagiarism by students. Although widespread, it is far from universal: around 40% of almost 1,300 participants in last week's webinar hadn't used it, which might be due to a lack of time, anxiety, or because it is not available in their setting.
