AI: the stuff of dreams or nightmares? Going by the movies, it has the potential to take over the world, and judging by the viral response to ChatGPT, there might be some truth to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In just 5 days of launch, the AI newcomer reached 1 million users<\/b>, crossing the <\/span>100 million mark<\/span><\/a> only 3 months later. So, what\u2019s all the excitement about? And more importantly, <\/span>is ChatGPT safe, especially for children?<\/b> Or is it just as risky as the movies make AI out to be? Let\u2019s take a closer look at the tool, how it works, and how to talk to your kids about it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n ChatGPT is a chatbot, created and developed by OpenAI<\/b>, a research lab dedicated to artificial intelligence. The AI system is designed and trained to simulate more conversational, human responses to prompts and questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After launch<\/span> in November 2022, ChatGPT quickly became a viral phenomenon<\/b>, with people impressed by the way the bot models human responses as best it can, and the detailed, easy-to-understand answers it is capable of giving.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n ChatGPT is a trained artificial intelligence bot, instructed on a huge database of websites, books, articles and many other texts, which help it to understand the patterns of natural, more human-sounding language. Put simply, it behaves like <\/span>a language machine, pre-trained to mimic writing<\/b>, and when prompted, it will use its knowledge to generate a response similar to one a real person might give.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.qustodio.com\/public-site\/uploads\/2023\/03\/07104528\/Blog_Is-ChatGPT-safe-for-kids_InsideImage.png” alt=”is chatgpt safe for kids to use” title_text=”Blog_Is-ChatGPT-safe-for-kids_InsideImage” align=”center” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Because of its \u201cnatural\u201d language format, <\/span>ChatGPT can be used for many different tasks and purposes<\/b>, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Tech-wise, <\/span>ChatGPT uses data encryption to protect any details<\/b> entered during user interactions, and the model itself is hosted on secure, restricted-access servers. However, bear in mind that whenever you use any free product on the internet, you are also part of the product. This means that any data or information you enter into ChatGPT (or other free services online) is no longer in your control. The company behind it has the rights and access to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you or your child use ChatGPT, then be sure not to enter or use personal information<\/a> while asking for responses.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Some additional safety concerns surrounding ChatGPT come from how people might choose to interact with the bot, and how reliable the information it gives is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n ChatGPT was trained on a wide source of text, ranging from books to online articles, from different sources. This means<\/span> it could easily create text which sounds accurate and believable, despite being neither<\/b>. Even <\/span>OpenAI researchers have stated<\/span><\/a> that ChatGPT or similar tools could aid in the spread of \u201ca particular political agenda, and\/or a desire to create chaos or confusion.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Some schools and school districts in the US, Australia, and India <\/span>have banned the use of ChatGPT<\/span><\/a>, over worries that it could encourage students to cheat, while not allowing them to think critically or for themselves. Others have raised concerns that ChatGPT will give rise to more plagiarism, as students copy the answers the bot gives.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, <\/span>some tech experts and specialists argue that ChatGPT could be seen as a new learning opportunity<\/b>, providing students with an interactive and engaging way to practice skills they are learning, and tailoring learning to match the student\u2019s individual style for improved understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Far from banning the tool, organizations such as the International Baccalaureate have stated students <\/span>will be allowed to quote from content created by ChatGPT<\/span><\/a>, treating it like any other source or ideas taken from other people on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWhat is ChatGPT?<\/b><\/h2>\n
