AI in Vocational Training

In the last two years we faced a new revolution. AI based applications became well-known and popular among public people and naturally used by students too. Is it a magical tool and we do not have to do efforts in programming any longer? It really can help a lot in developing a program code, but it may help in cheating. Should we ban its usage or instead of use it up during the courses? Do we bury our heads in the sand or take advantage of new opportunities? How can it effect the informatics vocational trainings in our institute?
