With over 1 mil- lion users trying the tool in its first week of release, it's safe to say that the tool has gone main- stream. "All social media channels are littered with hints and tips on using it effectively. Univer- sity students up to secondary school students are already us- ing it extensively. The big break will come when Microsoft in- tegrates it with its Office suite. Yesterday Microsoft already launched its Azure GPT ser- vices. So it's only a matter of months until everyone starts using it daily." Dingli said that there are con- cerns that many white-collar jobs will become automated, but the plus side is that it would allow people to focus on more meaningful work by automatic any repetitive and time-con- suming tasks. "ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionise education by pro- viding students with a wealth of information and resources at their fingertips," he said, but added that it could lead to ad- verse effects such as an over-re- liance on these models and a lack of critical thinking skills. "Many Universities are al- ready panicking about it, and soon, educators will realise that their way of teaching is long de- funct and they need to reinvent their approach." Bringing education into the digital age Patrick Camilleri, a senior lec- turer at the University of Malta specializing in AI in education, admitted that he feels that he should be ready to embrace this change. "It will probably even replace me in what I think I do best, that is educate." He said that the onset of the AI-driven fourth industrial revolution means education as we know it is outdated, and it must undergo a major transfor- mation to reflect the changing times. One way of doing this is by fa- cilitating a new model of learn- ing that focuses on the qualities that make us human and differ- entiate us from intelligent ma- chines. "In the process of employing the qualities of technologies such as AI and IoT, teachers should shift focus and nurture innate deep practices of think- ing. In the process they should emphasise the enhancement of decision-making skills, aware- ness of responsibility, empathy and entrepreneurial skills." The idea, for Camilleri, would be to train students to evaluate what machines like ChatGPT offer according to the contexts that they are required in. "Subsequently the students will learn to adopt, adapt and ultimately employ the qualities of more sophisticated technolo- gies to achieve their goals. They should be prepared to learn to recognize opportunities as they arise and, in the process, choose and employ the proper technol- ogy to achieve their goals." And same goes for assessment purposes, Camilleri said. "Rath- er than assessing machine gen- erated content, students may be assessed by having to engage in debates on the choice of pro- cured answers providing expla- nations that go beyond being descriptive to being objectively analytical and subjectively in- terpretational." "On another note, AI powered technologies can be employed to analyse the capabilities of different students. This will enable the creation of more personal and effective learning paths directed to nurture indi- vidual and particular students' traits, radically shifting educa- tion from: a 'just-in-case' to a 'just-in-time' to a 'just-for-you' design." How to spot an AI Albert Gatt, an associate pro- fessor in natural language pro- cessing, said spotting AI-gener- ated text is not an easy feat. "This has been known for some time: there are bench- mark tests which show that readers are at chance when asked to guess whether a text is human-authored or ma- chine-generated, and this was the case even for models which preceded ChatGPT." He remarked that the lan- guage generated by ChatGPT is fluent, and the model is able to generate long, coherent text in different styles. He suspects that this is due to a combina- tion of techniques, but most notably through the use of rein- forcement learning. AI-generated text may be hard to spot, but it's not impossible. Gatt said that some research suggests that the origin of a generated text can be detect- ed by analysing the statistical properties of the language. "In particular, the 'decoder' part of these models tends to generate by sampling one word at a time, from a probability dis- As ChatGPT enters the mainstream, MaltaToday reached out to four experts in the field of AI to understand what this means for the way we live. The common thread? It gives us an opportunity to adopt more human approaches to work and education by leaving the mundane to the AI ChatGPT: 'Opportunity to be human again', experts say
