AI in Higher Ed
GenAI has caused a stir in education because it has revealed the fragility of many of our current assessments. The narrative of “cheating” that has accompanied the technology since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022 has been overpowering. But we believe that this narrative needs to shift, both to account for the advances in the technology, and to honour our students’ integrity and creativity.
We decide what is and what is not considered cheating. The AIAS is designed to make it easier to articulate those decisions. Also, it is designed to help educators articulate those decisions to students. It is not sufficient to say “the use of ChatGPT is considered cheating”.

It is inadvisable and against our Usage Policies to rely on models for assessment decision purposes without a “human in the loop” (i.e., a person who may use AI as an aide, but who ultimately makes the decision using their own judgment). Models today are subject to biases and inaccuracies, and they are unable to capture the full complexity of a student or an educational context.
A few experiments with online AI software services suggest some ways to address AI essay cheating, and interventions will require refining and revisiting course prompts.
