Is it cheating to use AI in the classroom?

The advent and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow at a phenomenal pace. There are AI tools to assist us with just about anything in our daily lives. However, the usage of generative AI technologies in learning-based scenarios, such as schools, continues to be a contentious issue.

With AI usage increasing, particularly in schools and universities, several questions arise:

• Where do we draw the line between ‘assistance’ and ‘cheating’?
• What are the most ethical, moral, and responsible ways in which AI should be harnessed?
• How do we prepare students for a world where working alongside AI is not only encouraged, but expected?

Leading experts in Artificial Intelligence – Professor Matt Bower, Professor, Macquarie School of Education, Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence and Professor Phillip Dawson, Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) at Deakin University – recently spoke on the issues of AI cheating in schools and universities and how to best approach AI from an assessment perspective.
