Abstract:

Generative AI is challenging traditional notions of academic integrity, authorship, and assessment. When students can use AI to generate, refine, and evaluate their work, the question is no longer simply whether AI use constitutes cheating, but whether meaningful learning is taking place. This presentation explores emerging issues including AI guilt, AI-giarism, and the changing boundaries of academic misconduct. It argues for moving beyond detection towards rethinking assessment itself. Drawing on research and practical frameworks, the presentation introduces AI-resilient approaches to assessment that emphasise students’ thinking, judgement, creativity, and responsible human–AI partnership, while developing the AI literacy needed for future learning.
