NTU to convene panel with AI experts to consider appeal of student accused of academic fraud
One of the students, whose appeal request was rejected, has raised issues with the university’s lack of clarity in regulating AI misuse.

It's so dumb that they didn't consider any form of due process for the advent of AI in the first place.
So doing all these to save face for the prof? So based on the article, if using ChatGPT to do research and not using a single line from the generated ChatGPT prompt is considering cheating, then might as well just ban students from using Google or search engines, and revert back to finding books in the library. And this is the type of future proofing our universities are striving for. Jeez even now in my workplace, I find the ability to know how to google something that can differentiate you from other colleagues. You will be surprised at how many people don’t know how to pull the results they want from Google, simply because they don’t know how to write the Google search. Shouldn’t schools prep students on how to write proper gen AI queries if we are looking to make them ready for future workplaces? Instead of just banning it outright? If the concern is that students are taking the shortcut and not learning, then don’t be lazy and come up with better ways of assessment. Maybe get the students to present their essay in 5-10 mins with Q&A or something, so the understanding of the subject can’t be faked. Or set questions that are open ended which ChatGPT isn’t that good at. Or make them cite stuff only in lecture materials. Jeez so many different ways other than banning
As usual, only bad publicity can get real change nowadays
