Colleges face simultaneous pressures on two fronts: protecting student data from AI tool integration and preserving academic integrity. IT leaders warn that AI features in vendor tools—ranging from LMS integrations to facial recognition—expose student information and require updated privacy controls. Procurement and compliance teams must vet vendor data practices more rigorously and adapt policies to the rapid rollout of AI features. Faculty are experimenting with assessment redesigns to detect and deter AI‑assisted work. At NYU Stern, data‑science professor Panos Ipeirotis adopted AI‑powered oral exams after written submissions increasingly resembled polished external consulting memos but lacked demonstrable understanding. Expect more programs to pair technology controls with redesigned assessments—oral exams, in‑person demonstrations and authentic project work—to validate learning outcomes and meet accreditation expectations.
