Universities Must Compel Students to Detail How They Use AI in Assignments
Monday
A recent study led by Hui Wang at the University of Arizona reveals that over one-third of the top 100 U.S. universities lack clear policies on AI usage in assignments, with more than half delegating decisions to individual instructors. This inconsistency may leave students uncertain about acceptable AI use and underprepared for the workplace. The study underscores the need for institution-wide policies that define acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI, emphasizing the importance of engaging critically with AI tools in ways that foster human agency.
