They want to give their students a bit of guidance on how to approach AI, what is going to be helpful for them for learning and not helpful for learning. -Danny Liu There is no way to really know if the rules that you're putting in place are going to be followed by students, and it doesn't mean that we need to detect them or surveil them more when they're doing their assignments. -Danny Liu We need to accept the reality that students could be using AI in ways that we don't want them to be using AI if they're not in front of us. -Danny Liu Not everyone lies. Most of our students want to do the right thing. They want to learn, but they have the temptation of AI there that is saying, I can do this work for you.
