AI and Academic Dishonesty: A Fun Beginner’s Guide

Ready to jump into the fascinating world of AI and see some of the ways students can use it to cheat? Join us for a lively one-hour workshop designed to lay out some of the AI options students have at their fingertips right now. We’ll take a peek into the cool, somewhat terrifying tech behind chatbots and how they can be used right now to “help” students do homework, take exams and write papers (aka do the work for them), as well as the many difficulties in detecting this “help.” We’ll also look at some of the ways educators are reorganizing their syllabi, rethinking their assignments, and reconsidering what knowledge and skills they want their students to know in the face of this very powerful, quickly evolving technology.
