Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential effects of technology such as ChatGPT on examinations in England where students are permitted access to books.
Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)
The department is assessing the risks and opportunities of recent developments in large language models. The new technology has the potential to improve access and outcomes across the education system.
The department will continue to work with the Office for Students, the Office for AI, and Ofqual to build our understanding and inform future plans.
Schools, colleges and universities have policies in place to identify and respond to cheating in assessment. The department expects schools and colleges to ensure the integrity of their assessment processes and take action if any student is found to be cheating.
Schools, colleges and universities are best placed to decide what technology they need to meet their requirements in relation to their educational contexts.
The department will keep its programme of measures under review to ensure the best means in addressing the risks and opportunities AI presents are identified, including continuing to establish a strong evidence base for technology in education.
