Dartmouth College Official Under Investigation for AI Use in Academic Writing
An independent advisory committee will review whether the provost disclosed AI use in op-eds and academic articles after student reporting flagged multiple works.
- Dartmouth College launched an investigation into Provost Santiago Schnell after the student newspaper, The Dartmouth, reported that his recent academic publications and op-eds appeared to be written using artificial intelligence.
- This scrutiny follows an August Semafor investigation into AI usage in national opinion pages, which prompted student journalists to examine Schnell's writing before and after the November 2022 release of ChatGPT.
- Pangram software labeled a selection of Schnell's works from this year with a median 'AI-written' score of 96%, though Schnell claimed he used AI only for "language refinement" and copyediting.
- Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock announced an independent advisory committee led by former provost and computer science professor David Kotz '86 to review Schnell's work, while Schnell apologized Friday for failing to disclose AI usage.
- The controversy reflects broader campus tensions regarding AI ethics, as students and faculty debate whether leaders should follow the same disclosure requirements universities strictly enforce for student work.
