Google has released an open AI model called Gemma, which it says is created using the same research and technology that was used to build its Gemini AI models. The company says Gemma is its contribution to the open community and is meant to help developers "in building AI responsibly." As such, it also introduced the Responsible Generative AI Toolkit alongside Gemma. It contains a debugging tool, as well as a guide with best practices for AI development based on Google's experience.

Ask your students, What do you know or have you heard about ChatGPT? Have you experimented with it yourself? What did you think of it? What questions do you have?
Depending on their responses, they may need a broad introduction to the tool. If so, we recommend an episode of The Daily called “Did Artificial Intelligence Just Get Too Smart?” (Students can follow along via the transcript.)

More powerful than ChatGPT': Microsoft unveils new AI-improved Bing and Edge browser

ChatGPT is only two months old, but we've spent the time since it debuted debating how powerful it really is — and how we should regulate it.
Just because it can be helpful doesn't mean it can't also be harmful: Students can use it to write essays for them, and bad actors can use it to create malware. Even without malicious intent from users, it can generate misleading information, reflect biases, generate offensive content, store sensitive information, and — some people fear — degrade everyone's critical thinking skills due to over-reliance. Then there's the ever-present (if a bit unfounded) fear that RoBoTs ArE tAkInG oVeR.
And ChatGPT can do all of that without much — if any — oversight from the U.S. government.

Is ChatGPT the new teacher’s aide?
Teachers have said that the artificial intelligence tool, which can write anything with just a simple prompt, could save them hours of work—a game-changer at a time when teachers have a lot on their plates and stress levels are high.
Even so, some teachers say they worry that using the tool could strip away some of the creativity and relational aspects of teaching or introduce bias into lessons or feedback on student work.

The difference we have with ChatGPT is that it doesn’t so much present a threat to the university experience, but rather directly into the heart of the purpose of a university education – its ability to ‘teach you how to think’. There have been shadows of this in the past, for instance the hostility towards Wikipedia (Coomer 2013), the emergence of essay mills, not to mention simple, now common place tools such as spell checkers and calculators. I remember vividly a very angry professor in the early 2000s telling me that reading lists with hyperlinks would make students baby birds, with wide open mouths expecting to be spoon fed. We’ve pretty much moved through all those advancements in technology and realised their benefits, but this one, I would argue, is different. Not because it does not have its benefits, but because of the sheer volume and scale of what’s coming will be meaningfully different and ultimately challenge the foundations upon which we measure that ability to think – university assessment.

Welcome to this short instructional teachers guide to using
ChatGPT. It's a powerful tool that can help teachers
enhance student learning - remember to keep asking it
questions to refine the outcome. Sometimes, when you're
close to getting exactly what you want, it's helpful to restart
the conversation with your newly clarified prompt.
By following this guide, you will learn how to effectively
incorporate ChatGPT into your teaching practice and make
the most of its capabilities. We will provide specific
examples and strategies aligned with CESE NSW's "What
Works Best" to help you get started.

What is Creative Thinking?
Creative thinking is the way of thinking that leads to the generation of valuable and original ideas. All people are capable of engaging in creative thinking and practicing ‘everyday’ creativity (addressing everyday activities in a non-conventional way). Creative thinking can be applied not only to contexts related to the expression of imagination, such as creative writing or the arts, but also to other areas where the generation of ideas is functional to the investigation of issues, problems or society-wide concerns.
The PISA assessment will examine students’ capacities to generate diverse and original ideas, and to evaluate and improve ideas, across a range of contexts or ‘domains’. The assessment includes four domains: written expression, visual expression, social problem solving and scientific problem solving. In each of these domains, students engage with open tasks that have no single correct response. They are either asked to provide multiple, distinct responses, or to generate a response that is not conventional. These responses can take the form of a solution to a problem, of a creative text or of a visual artefact.

Some of the world’s biggest academic journal publishers have banned or curbed their authors from using the advanced chatbot, ChatGPT. Because the bot uses information from the internet to produce highly readable answers to questions, the publishers are worried that inaccurate or plagiarised work could enter the pages of academic literature.
Several researchers have already listed the chatbot as a co-author on academic studies, and some publishers have moved to ban this practice. But the editor-in-chief of Science, one of the top scientific journals in the world, has gone a step further and forbidden any use of text from the program in submitted papers.

PARIS, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Sciences Po, one of France's top universities, has banned the use of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot that can generate coherent prose, to prevent fraud and plagiarism.
ChatGPT is a free programme that generates original text about virtually any subject in response to a prompt, including articles, essays, jokes and even poetry, raising concerns across industries about plagiarism.

Despite all the teething problems, the results are impressive, disturbing, and impressively disturbing. The entire academic world, from elementary schools to top universities, is in turmoil, some out of dystopian panic, others out of utopian naiveté. Both positions are highly understandable.
For all readers to whom ChatGPT does not mean anything yet, we have asked ChatGPT to introduce itself briefly:

As educators, we have a responsibility to deliver content in a way that supports our students’ current and future learning. Not only what students learn, but how they learn it. We need to create the conditions that allow students to demonstrate their self-directed learning in order to concurrently develop their knowledge and skills through semiautonomous learning environments.
