Japan universities curb and restrict their students for the usage of OpenAI's ChatGPT

Concerns have been raised by ChatGPT, an intuitive AI chatbot that can quickly deliver an essay or a piece of computer code. Experts have voiced alarm about the chatbot because recent headlines have featured several instances of people passing challenging tests by using it. Because they were concerned that students would use the chatbot to create essays or cheat on examinations, many colleges and some educational institutions have banned it.

Universities in Japan are currently enforcing policies on students using OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Independent claims that Tokyo's Sophia University has outlawed students using the chatbot to compose projects like essays, reports, and theses.

The university stated in updated policies posted on its official website on March 27 that "the use of text, program source code, calculation results generated by ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are not permitted on any assignments such as reaction papers, reports, essays, and thesis, as the student does not create them."
