"A survey of academic integrity violations found almost 7,000 proven cases of cheating using AI tools in 2023-24, equivalent to 5.1 for every 1,000 students."
"As AI tools have become more sophisticated and accessible, the nature of cheating has changed, with confirmed cases of traditional plagiarism falling significantly."
A recent Guardian investigation reveals a surge in academic misconduct at UK universities due to the misuse of AI tools like ChatGPT. The number of confirmed cheating cases using AI reached almost 7,000 in the 2023-24 academic year, marking a dramatic increase from the previous year. In contrast, traditional plagiarism cases have significantly dropped, indicating a shift in the nature of academic dishonesty. As universities adapt to these challenges, experts highlight that recorded cases may only represent a fraction of the actual problem. The data underscores the need for updated assessment methods to address these evolving cheating techniques.
