University of Minnesota sued by student who says AI expulsion was part of a conspiracy


Haishan Yang was working toward his second PhD from the University of Minnesota when he was expelled last year. It's alleged that he used artificial intelligence tools...

Yang says the animosity stems from his time as a research assistant, when his financial support was cut off by the university for what it claimed was poor performance and disparaging behavior. The federal lawsuit includes a request for $200,000 from the university "to deter future procedural violations and uphold fairness in disciplinary proceedings." Back in October, the parents of a student who was punished for using a chatbot to complete an assignment sued the school, claiming it hurt his college chances.
