JAKARTA - Professors of the University of Indonesia (UI) are of the opinion that the Chat Creative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) which is one of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) products created to fulfill human curiosity about everything.ChatGPT has experienced very fast developments, since the first generation was introduced in 2018, and was last released by the fourth generation ChatGPT in 2023, which has more than 10 times the ability of the first generation. Artificial intelligence "Or Artificial Intelligence (AI) is basically developed to improve the quality of human life because it has extraordinary transformational power, ranging from aspects of education, health, economy, public policy, governance, and others," said Chairman of the Professorship Council of the University of Indonesia (DGB UI), Prof. Harkrisnowo's Harkristuti, SH, MA, Ph.D. in a webinar entitled Etical Artificial Intelligence Usage of ChatGPT in the Academic Environment, Saturday, March 25. However, as is the case. new things in this world, apart from bringing novelty and profit, it turns out that AI has also opened a window for potentially disruptive things. In the field of education, students can ask about exams from any field of science, even being used for the preparation of written works by simply entering certain keywords. Even so, ChatGPT's very high ability opens up opportunities for parallel phenomena or two sides of the currency, namely the bright side of technology in the form extraordinary convenience for learners in the world of education; and the dark side of technology, both in terms of technological limitations, ethical issues, and even being adrift of the human side. According to UI's Professor of the Faculty of Computer Sciences, Prof. Drs. Heru Suhartanto from a bright side of ChatGPT's benefits, there are about 80 ways to take advantage of ChatGPT in classrooms with the ability, speed, and accuracy of information supply. Chairman of the Webinar Committee, Prof. Dr. Ir. Riri Sari, M.Sc., MM., who calling that ChatGPT can be used to produce quality text through the Reimagine Education concept. This is because ChatGPT has the ability to answer questions with high accuracy and retrieve information from external resources, such as Wikipedia. In addition, ChatGPT can also be used to translate text from one language to another with good accuracy and has the ability to complete incomplete text using context and The information provided, "said Prof. Riri, quoted by Antara. However, there is a dark side to the use of ChatGPT which must also be considered, such as misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation which has an impact on legal and ethical issues. In fact, graded legal issues at the global and national policy levels have been identified. Some of the bad impacts of using ChatGPT are not 100 percent accuracy because data taken from the internet is incomplete. This incompleteness can be due to a lack of context. According to Fasilkom UI Professor, Prof. Dr. Wisnu Jatmiko, M. Kom.Eng., ChatGPT is smart, but can misunderstand the context so as to produce incorrect outputs.ChatGPT is trained with data, and if the data is biased, the machine will also be biased. In addition, the improper use of ChatGPT can also add up critical student thinking. In fact, one of the most valuable things that students can develop is thinking critical. If answers from all questions are always available at their radii, they feel there is no need to think for themselves. For example, a student asks ChatGPT to write an essay for them, it not only creates a lack of original thinking, but also is a form of plagiarism," said Prof. Wisnu. Looking at the bright and dark side of the use of ChatGPT, a lecturer at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) UI, Dr. Fuad Gani, SAS, MA, said the need to be wise in take advantage of the ChatGPT.
Universities cannot be separated from future competition, especially in terms of technology, so they must continue to strive to produce graduates who are ready to face future challenges. He said Universities should accept that AI is moderate and will continue to be used. AI tools will continue to grow and become increasingly important in various disciplines. Therefore, Universities need to issue flexible and broad guidelines because AI technology will continue to develop rapidly.Deputy Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Abdul Haris, also emphasized that the phenomenon of two sides of technology currency as well as parallel ChatGPT phenomena must be taken advantage of carefully and wisely.
