OpenAI has developed a watermarking technology capable of detecting text written by ChatGPT with 99.9% reliability. Despite widespread concerns about students using AI to cheat, OpenAI has not yet released this tool, citing a 'deliberate approach' to its rollout. This decision has sparked debates within the company and among educators, who are grappling with the ethical implications of AI in academic settings. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions about the appropriate use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT in schools and colleges, and whether educators should disclose their use of such technologies to students.
