Marking in the Age of AI - Part 2

Is writing and thinking the same?

Academia and AI

As a business educator, I cannot ignore the fact that my students are mostly using AI to complete their work RIGHT NOW. As a university, we provide courses and policies for them to do this better, so it is not even cheating most of the time (and undetectable when it is). So, will this mean the death knell for higher education, because AI-proofing most of our standard assessments is not really possible?

Amidst the flurries of professional angst and moral panic, only very few (thanks, Mental Forge!) seem to remember that plagiarism and essay mills were rampant in higher education long before the current AI crisis. One of the leading essay mills was one of the first “corporate victims” of AI – nobody seemed to think it was a great loss, me included.
