While ChatGPT initially raised concerns about cheating and plagiarism in schools, teachers have started seeing its potential benefits.

A new team at OpenAI will explore educational applications for ChatGPT, helping teachers incorporate it into their curriculum effectively, Reuters reports.

OpenAI has already been working on integrating its technology into classrooms and has partnerships with education groups like Khan Academy and Schmidt Futures to create AI-powered educational tools.

The move to introduce ChatGPT into education aligns with the growing online learning and training market, which will likely reach $10 trillion by 2030, as per the report. 

ChatGPT could serve as a tutor, tailor content to different learning styles, assist with curriculum development, and more.

However, there are concerns about children's privacy issues, as using chatbots like ChatGPT in schools may raise questions about children's compliance with online privacy laws. While age restrictions and parental consent requirements exist for ChatGPT users under 18, age verification measures vary by country.

OpenAI's exploration of educational applications for ChatGPT reflects the ongoing evolution of AI technologies in education, with potential benefits for both students and teachers.

OpenAI looks to generate over $1 billion in revenue over the next 12 months from selling AI software and computing capacity.
