JAKARTA - ChatGPT has recently caused controversy in the world of education. Many schools or universities have banned the use of these chatbots. However, it is different from Sandra Day O'Connor's Legal School at Arizona State University.

Their policy is to allow prospective students to use Big Language Model (LLM) tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Bard from Google and Microsoft's Bing Chat to help prepare their apps.

However, students must state the information they send is accurate. Lawyers and law students are already using AI. The rules take effect this month.

"Our law school is driven by an innovative mindset. By embracing new technologies, and teaching students ethical responsibilities related to technology, we will improve legal education and break down barriers that may exist for prospective students," said Arizona State's legal school dean. Leeds.

"By bringing a generative AI into our curriculum, we are preparing students for their future careers in all disciplines," he added.

The law school said its mission was to educate and prepare the next generation of lawyers and leaders, admitting the important role of embracing technology.

In addition to allowing the use of AI tools, the school claims to have taught several courses that study legal, policy and ethical issues related to AI in the field of law.

These include safety, privacy, security, accountability, discrimination, regulation, responsibility, and AI system rights, as quoted by Ars Technica and FoxBusiness, Tuesday, August 1.

"We are embracing this technology because we see its benefits for students and future lawyers. Generative AIs are a tool available to almost everyone, regardless of their economic situation, which can help them apply for a strong application if used responsibly," Leeds said.

The decision comes a week after the University of Michigan Law School specifically banned such AI tools, due to various policies adopted by various universities related to AI roles in student applications.

Some time ago, the Department of New York City Education, the US, was also reported to have banned students from doing ChatGPT, claimed to be dangerous for the world of education and prevent fraud.
