Dartmouth Provost Resigns After Commitee Finds He Used AI in Academic Writing
A faculty-led review found he may have violated Dartmouth and publisher policies by using AI in nine professional articles, including a Washington Post op-ed.
- On Wednesday, Dartmouth Provost Santiago Schnell resigned after a faculty-led review determined his use of artificial intelligence in published writing fell short of the university's code of ethical conduct.
- Controversy began in August when an investigation flagged Schnell's Washington Post op-ed as AI-generated, prompting Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock to convene an independent committee to review his writings.
- The committee concluded Schnell "meaningfully alter his writing" and "failed to disclose" AI use, violating publication policies; the Provost did not fully cooperate by withholding personal logs.
- History professor Matthew Delmont will serve as interim provost through June 2028, Beilock announced Wednesday, reaffirming the university's commitment to supporting faculty and students.
- Despite the incident, Dartmouth remains focused on artificial intelligence, with President Beilock hosting a conference this week titled "AI at 70: What Must Remain Human?" to explore the technology's future.
