Widespread AI misuse forces higher education to rethink assessment‎

Large numbers of college students are now using artificial intelligence to complete—and cheat on—their assignments, suggesting that colleges and universities need to change how they are evaluating students, finds new Cornell research. An analysis of survey responses from more than 95,000 students at 20 public research universities in the U.S. finds about one-third regularly used generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT or other models to produce text, video or code, when completing assignments, and 9% had used it to cheat.
