“Whenever educators discuss artificial intelligence (AI) in schools, someone calls out the elephant in the room: cheating. Since the November 2022 release of ChatGPT, educators everywhere have worried that students would use this new technology to write their papers and complete their assignments for them.
Now, a couple of years into this AI revolution, we have a growing number of generative AI chatbots (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude), some alarming news headlines about cheating with AI, and a lot of personal anecdotes of students using AI as their tool to cheat for school. Every time we have facilitated professional development or met with schools, someone asks how we can keep this from happening.
Is there a good AI detector they can use? Should they go back to paper and pencil writing?”
