I’ve developed a tool to test higher education educators’ understanding across four domains: GenAI capability, assessment vulnerability, assessment design, and educational application. drmarkbassett.com/HE_Educator_...

"Heads we win, tails you lose" is now live in its peer-reviewed form. This article represents a gamut of perspectives from pro-AI to staunchly opposed. What unites us all is shared condemnation of the use of AI-detection software in education contexts doi.org/10.1080/1360...

Over a dozen universities are using AI to catch AI — and getting it wrong
At least a dozen Australian universities are using AI to detect AI. But they're not always catching cheats. Instead, they're wrongly accusing students of academic misconduct.

Great paper outlining the fundamental flaws of using AI detection tools in educational institutions. Any student accused by one of these tools should submit the paper as part of their case. Any university using the tool is asking to get sued, with this paper being submitted as evidence.

Students cheating with GenAI isn’t a technical problem and thus doesn’t have a technical solution. There’s nothing institutions can ‘buy’ that will solve this problem, process tracking included, yet the grift goes on.
