Good advice to keep in mind, on 3 dimensions, when setting assessments: to move beyond “simple prohibitions or permissions and begin to address three critical dimensions: the feasibility of enforcement, the preservation of authentic learning, and the emotional wellbeing of teachers and students”.

Can machines think?
“Not until a machine can write a sonnet or compose a concerto because of thoughts and emotions felt, and not by the chance fall of symbols, could we agree that machine equals brain - that is, not only write it but know that it had written it. No mechanism could feel (and not merely artificially signal, an easy contrivance) pleasure at its successes, grief when its valves fuse, be warmed by flattery, be made miserable by its mistakes, be charmed by sex, be angry or depressed when it cannot get what it wants.” Alan Turing (1950). 

“Note that this argument is saying the following: (1) Only when a machine feels things and is aware of its own actions and feelings - in short, is conscious - could we consider it actually thinking, and (2) No machine could ever do this. Ergo, no machine could ever actually think.

I think it's a strong argument, even though I don't agree with it. It resonates with our intuitions about what machines are and how they are limited. Over the years, I've talked with any number of friends, relatives and students about the possibility of machine intelligence, and this is the argument many of them stand by.” Melanie Mitchell (2020) Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans by Melanie Mitchell (2020)
