Artificial Intelligence & Academic Integrity

The release of Open AI's ChatGPT in November 2022 disrupted predominant methods of teaching, learning and assessment in education overnight. And ChatGPT is just one Large Language Model (LLM) tool. There are thousands of others. Academic integrity was obviously a primary concern - which assessments could be generated by an LLM? Which exam questions could be answered? Is essay writing dead?

The world, and the world of education, are still working to determine how LLMs and other Artificial Intelligence tools (generative or predictive) are going to change what we do, how we do it, why we do it, and when and where we should do it. Teaching, learning and assessments all need to change.

This page will try to keep the UC San Diego community up-to-date on all things related to artificial intelligence and academic integrity in higher education.
