Universities in South Korea, Dublin and Norway act against AI cheating
South Korean universities are tightening action against AI cheating in exams, and University College Dublin (UCD) recorded almost 50 cases of unauthorised AI use last year. Uncontrolled AI use is also a problem in Norway, and false positives from AI detectors affect non-native-speaker students.
Who is affected and how
- university student
- AI use in exams and assignments must be disclosed as the rules require, and detectors can make errors.
- teacher
- Suspicion should not rest solely on detectors, given their false positives.
- education policymaker
- Integrity rules should be designed with detector errors in mind.
