In ihrem Gastbeitrag „Endlich neue Prüfungen dank ChatGPT!“ in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung gehen Prof. Alexander Pretschner, Dr. Jan Gogoll und Prof. Dirk Heckmann der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss ChatGPT auf Prüfungen in Bildungseinrichtungen haben wird.

A strange shift has overcome NGOs, academia and philanthropy working in the digital politics and culture spheres – a long held commitment to freedom of expression has been overtaken by a new consensus that accepts actively shaping and removing ‘unacceptable’ ideas and information. What is unacceptable or untrue tends to change weekly, if not more often.
