Randomized Study: ChatGPT Training Boosts Critical Thinking and Originality in University Students

OpenAI conducted a randomized study of over 1,000 students to examine the impact of ChatGPT training with critical-thinking exercises on student performance in real university assignments, showing improvements in quality and originality.

Universities can integrate ChatGPT training into curricula with a focus on critical thinking, enhancing student skills and academic originality while developing responsible usage policies.

The study suggests that proper training on ChatGPT use with critical-thinking exercises can improve critical thinking and originality, rather than harm them.
