Universities overhaul exams and assignments to address student AI use
Surveys show AI use among students is widespread: a 2026 UK poll found 94% of undergraduates use generative AI for coursework, with 12% directly pasting AI text into assignments, while a US study of over 95,000 students estimated 9% used AI despite knowing it violated rules. Professors report signs of misuse, including fabricated references and AI-typical writing patterns, prompting many institutions to redesign assessments rather than simply ban the tools.
