ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks.

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.

Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to avoid the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.

However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making laws on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is ‘adapt our learning, teaching and examinations'. That way, we can be honest while using of the tool".

A few days ago, the British polar explorer and environmentalist (极地探险家及环境学家) Robert Swan visited our school and we asked him to give a talk on his trips. He was the first person walking to both the North and South Poles and he did something really amazing by reaching the South Pole only on renewable energy (可再生能源) . 

Swan's stories of his trips really impressed me. It was more than 30 years ago when he first went to the South Pole. There was nothing they could use to talk to people outside there and the nearest person to him and his teammates was 2, 500 kilometers away. So they had to face all the problems by themselves. He also told us that when taking a shower during the trip, you had to take off all your clothes in the temperature of -30℃ and finished the shower as fast as you could. 

In 2017, Swan set foot on the South Pole again, this time with his son. The trip was highly great, not only because Swan was already 61 years old, but also because it was the world's first trip to Antarctica (南极洲) to be made only using renewable energy. 

Also, he talked about the importance of saving energy and taking good care of our planet (星球). After his talk, I was sure what I should do and the hope for the wonderful future washed over me.
