Banning the use of ChatGPT and similar generative AI technologies in the classroom is “absurd”, according to a leading professor from The Wharton School in the US. Speaking at the Reimagine Education conference in Abu Dhabi, Jerry Wind said schools should not ban the use of generative AI, but integrate the technology into programs.
