Introducing Study Mode as Your AI Tutor

OpenAI has rolled out a new feature called Study Mode within ChatGPT, designed to mimic a personalized tutoring session. Instead of delivering direct answers, Study Mode guides students through problems step by step, promoting deeper understanding.

  • Free for Plus, Pro, Team users; coming to ChatGPT Edu

Preserving Academic Integrity and Critical Thinking

Since ChatGPT’s debut in late 2022, educators have raised alarms over AI-fueled plagiarism and diminished analytical skills. Study Mode addresses these concerns by refusing to be a shortcut for assignments, ensuring students remain active participants in their learning journey.

Navigating the Future of AI in Education

OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, asserts that education must evolve alongside AI, which is poised to surpass human capabilities in information processing. Study Mode represents an early step toward integrating intelligent tools into curricula without sacrificing critical thinking.
