Unis and schools are moving away from AI-detection software. They should stop using it altogether
Artificial Intelligence detection tools can sometimes create more problems for teachers and students than they fix.
The use of AI-detection software by schools and universities to detect cheating in student work has come under scrutiny following the release of AI software ChatGPT in 2022. Recognizing the limitations of these tools, the New South Wales Education Standards Authority has updated its rules to discourage reliance on AI-detection software when determining if a student has cheated.
While the majority of Australian universities have already moved away from such solutions, researchers argue that the sector should go even further and stop using AI-detection tools altogether.
