AI in Education: The Crisis of False Cheating Accusations
AI's Role in Identifying Academic Dishonesty
AI technologies are gaining traction in educational institutions as a method to uphold integrity in academic assessments. However, the reliance on these systems has raised significant concerns about their accuracy. The use of AI tools like ChatGPT by students has spurred educators to employ their own AI detection technologies, leading to increasing incidents of false flags.
The Consequences of Misidentification
When AI mislabels a student's legitimate work as cheating, it can result in severe penalties, impacting the student's academic record and mental health. This raises questions about the fairness and reliability of AI systems.
