At a Future Of Knowledge event in India, Raghav Gupta of OpenAI stressed that while students misuse AI as a shortcut, the solution lies in proper adoption. He highlighted the divide between schools’ caution and higher education’s proactive use, citing IIM Ahmedabad’s initiative to provide AI tools to all students, faculty, and staff to prepare graduates for an AI-driven workforce.

Raghav Gupta, Head of Education for India and Asia Pacific at OpenAI, spoke at a 'Future Of Knowledge' event in India, laying out a nuanced picture of how AI is reshaping classrooms and campuses. Gupta has flagged the growing misuse of AI tools by students as a genuine concern, while making the case that the answer lies not in avoiding the technology, but in using it correctly.

"Students are using it as a shortcut tool, as a cheating tool, and it will compromise their learning, which I think is true," Gupta said at a Future Of Knowledge event in India. "Students should not use ChatGPT just to do their homework and get done with it."

The remarks reflect a tension that educators across India are grappling with - AI tools are now widely accessible, but the instinct in many schools has been to treat them as a threat rather than an opportunity. This was first reported by Economic Times.
