A growing number of college students are turning to generative AI to avoid accusations of cheating after many were flagged by imperfect AI detectors, according to reporting on campus practices. Universities that rely on detection tools have faced lawsuits from students who say automated flags caused undue punishments and emotional harm. The story highlights two tensions for campuses: the unreliability of current AI‑detection technology, and the rapid adoption of generative models among students. Faculty and academic‑integrity offices must balance academic standards, equitable treatment of non‑native English speakers who are disproportionately flagged, and the need to update assessment design for an AI‑augmented learning environment. Many institutions are revising honor codes, rethinking assessment methods, and investing in faculty training to detect misuse while leveraging AI as a learning partner.
