Generative AI is a powerful tool that can be used to support teachers and students. Most of the time when I am sharing about AI or doing AI trainings, I often focus on the positives aspects of this technology and how it can be used to benefit education.
Unfortunately, just as AI can be used to generate lesson plans, provide helpful feedback, and serve as a personalized tutor, it can also be used to write a paper, provide answers, and do students' work.
In short, AI can be used to cheat. Depending on the study you look at, research shows that between 60% and 70% of students admit to using AI to cheat.
It is critical for schools to explore and address this concern so that students can benefit from the support of AI, but not abuse this tool and ultimately hurt their own learning.
But how can we manage this? Recently I recorded a 50-minute video where I do a deep dive into addressing AI cheating. To be clear however, there are no easy answers. We are all learning this together and my presentation simply shares hopefully helpful ideas. I welcome your suggestions, thoughts, questions, comments, and opinions!
