5 Questions On

Available for over a year

So you’ve got an exam coming up and you might be tempted to turn to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to give you that extra edge. We've heard that plenty of students are using it, and some universities are even banning it. But it doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and many are learning to live with it. The first summer exam season since ChatGPT launched means some big challenges. But is the chatbot really as much of a problem as many fear? For the latest episode of 5 Questions On, our Education Correspondent Hazel Shearing explains what impact ChatGPT might have on this year's exams, and why it might not be as handy for cheating as some people think.
