L’artificial intelligence is perceived as a real breakthrough for some and as a danger for others. Additionally, the prestigious Sciences Po school announced on Friday January 27 that it was banning its students from using ChatGPT. Students who do not comply with this rule are even exposed to sanctions that can go as far as “exclusion from school, or even from higher education”.
In a letter addressed to all students and teachers, the management of Sciences Po announces that “the use, without explicit mention, of ChatGPT at Sciences Po, or any other tool that uses AI is, with the exception of the use pedagogy supervised by a teacher, for the moment strictly prohibited during the production of written or oral papers by students”.
Sciences Po is the first higher education institution in France to officially ban this artificial intelligence.
The issue of plagiarism at the center of reflection
The ChatGPT artificial intelligence has spread like wildfire in the world of education since last November. “This tool, which uses artificial intelligence (AI), strongly questions education and research actors around the world on the topic of fraud in general, and plagiarism in particular”, estimates the management of Sciences Po, in the letter sent to students, of which Agence France-Presse (AFP) has obtained a copy.

“Some states have even already banned its use in their schools and universities,” the statement continued.
Already in mid-December, a few weeks after the tool was made available by the Californian start-up OpenAI, eight Australian universities had announced that they were modifying their exams and believing that the use of artificial intelligence by students was comparable to a scam.
