"The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot has given us a glimpse into the future
of teaching and learning alongside artificial intelligence.

Educators immediately pointed out the chatbot’s ability to generate meaningful
responses to questions from assessments and exams. And it’s often not possible
to attribute these responses to a particular source – making it difficult to
detect plagiarism.

Concerns didn’t go unnoticed. Shortly after ChatGPT’s release, OpenAI announced
it was developing a “digital watermark” to embed into the chatbot’s responses.
This kind of watermark is embedded as a digital signal that can identify the
content as being AI-generated, and which (in theory) should be difficult to
remove.

But as experts have pointed it, people will likely find workarounds. And it
won’t be long before other AI models just as capable as ChatGPT pop up. What
will this mean for our educational spaces?

It’s safe to say we can expect some challenging years ahead."
