US EditionNearly 7,000 UK University Students Caught Cheating Using AI: Report
- Nearly 7,000 UK university students were caught cheating with AI tools like ChatGPT during the 2023-24 academic year across 131 institutions.
- This rise in AI cheating, from 1.6 cases per 1,000 students the previous year to 5.1 per 1,000, reflects wider student use and detection challenges.
- Universities are adapting by changing assessment methods, but detection remains difficult because AI misuse is hard to prove when outputs are well-edited.
- Dr Thomas Lancaster noted that when students skillfully refine the AI-generated content, it becomes extremely difficult to detect any improper use.
- The increasing AI misuse cases suggest institutions face a growing integrity challenge as traditional plagiarism declines and AI tool use rises among students.
