We want to put control of AI in the hands of the educators by:

  • Enabling educators to adjust the parameters of AI chat responses
  • Providing insights to educators on student usage of AI, including common questions and challenges
  • Teaching students and educators how to properly use AI for school purposes

EdChat amplifies the benefits of chat-based AI, and mitigates the harmful effects of it

Pros of ChatGPT in Education

  • Individualized Learning: ChatGPT can enable individual students to focus on topics they are struggling with the most
  • Multilingual Learning: ChatGPT can respond to students in multiple languages, reducing the language gap for multilingual students
  • More efficient research: Efficient research can lead to students spending more time on higher level thinking and analysis
  • Focus on Question-led Learning: Students can lead their own learning with questions when using a ChatGPT as a study guide
  • Improved tech literacy: Students become more prepared for a world that is continuing to become more tech-oriented

Cons of ChatGPT in Education

  • Plagiarism: Students can ask ChatGPT to write their entire essays and assignments for them
  • Over-reliance on AI: Students may struggle in situations where access to ChatGPT is unavailable if they are relying too heavily on it
  • Reduced writing skills: Increased usage of ChatGPT could lead to worsening writing and comprehension skills for students
  • Reduced collaboration / discussion: Students may be less likely to reach out to teachers and other students when ChatGPT is available as a resource
  • Reduced attention spans: Potential that students will be less able to focus on longer texts, as they get used to short responses from ChatGPT
