CBSE Class 10th, 12th Board Exams 2023: ChatGPT among prohibited items

The use of Artificial Intelligence-based ChatGPT has been prohibited in Class 10 and Class 12 board exams by CBSE.

"Mobile, ChatGPT and other electronic items will not be allowed in the examination hall," according to instructions issued by the board ahead of the papers.

The use of ChatGPT will amount to using unfair means in the exam, the CBSE officials said.

"Students are not allowed to carry any electronic devices inside the exam center. This includes using the device to access ChatGPT so that unfair means is not used," an official said.

ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) was launched in November 2022 and is capable of generating speeches, songs, marketing copy, news articles, and student essays or human-like text based on the input it is given.

The new artificial intelligence (AI) system, known as a large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like writing by predicting upcoming word sequences.
