Students and professors expect more cheating thanks to AI
A new survey finds students believe it’s already easier to cheat, thanks to generative artificial intelligence—and instructors think it will get worse in coming years.
It’s important to note that the survey—which polled 850 instructors along with the 2,000-plus students—did not specifically define “cheating,” which some could view as fact-checking an assignment while others think it would only include writing an entire paper through ChatGPT. Technology and academic experts have often drawn comparisons to similar fears that emerged when Wikipedia was first released in 2001, or in the 1970s when calculators were first widely introduced into classrooms. Vanderbeek said there are three main approaches institutions can take when looking at keeping academic integrity intact: creating incentives throughout the work process, like giving credit for starting early; introducing randomization on exams so it is harder to find answers online; and providing tools to instructors to identify “suspicious” behavior, like showing copied-and-pasted content or content submitted from overseas IP addresses.
