From Dr. Cary DiPietro, Dean, Learning, Teaching and Scholarship: "There has been much discussion in the news, across the sector and in and around Centennial about ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence (AI) writing tools that have emerged in recent months. In response, the Centre for Faculty Development and Teaching Innovation (CFDTI) has prepared an FAQ to answer questions and clarify the College’s position. Please find it attached. The FAQ provides an explanation of ChatGPT, the challenges and potential benefits of AI writing tools, as well as strategies and resources to help you address students’ use of them" (31 January 2023).
The following are collections of resources on artificial intelligence and ChatGPT in academia.
The following is a definition of ChatGPT, provided by ChatGPT on 1/3/2023: “CHATGPT is a variant of the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language model, which was developed by OpenAI. GPT models are trained to generate human-like text by predicting the next word in a sequence based on the words that come before it. ChatGPT is specifically designed to be used in chatbots and conversational systems, and it is trained on a large dataset of human conversations to learn how to generate appropriate responses in a variety of contexts” (Montclair State University).
