'Educators should rethink how they approach teaching, learning and student assessment to take advantage of what AI offers, but at the same time protect academic integrity,' - Wing Lam
Accessible to the public since November last year, anyone can sign up and start using ChatGPT right away, which was what I did. Here is an excerpt of what ChatGPT produced when I asked to write an article for me on the topic of AI in higher education:
Some argue that ChatGPT will eventually replace Google search and become the de facto way in which people get information. The fact that OpenAI is founded by Tesla mogul Elon Musk and funded by the likes of tech giant Microsoft gives some weight to that argument. Cheating and issues relating to academic integrity are nothing new. Even before AI came along, technology made cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and other unwarranted behaviours as simple as cutting and pasting.
Those students can now get ChatGPT to effectively ghostwrite for free. The big question is how will universities maintain academic integrity in the face of rapid advancements in AI? Universities are delusional to think they can fight AI by investing in more advanced AI. Nor can universities sidestep the problem by “trusting” their students under the defence of an honour code.
