Generative AI is testing the limits of what can be considered independent and honest academic work. And it’s only the beginning. In this webinar, global experts consider the impact this new technology is having on the safeguards set up to protect academic and research integrity and how it will shape their future.

Four panellists from Campus+ partner institutions in the Asia-Pacific region discuss:

  • Where does this rank in terms of impact we can expect on academic integrity compared with previous major disruptions such as the internet, the calculator, etc?
  • How can educators help students harness AI for greater learning outcomes? 
  • Does our definition of integrity need to evolve along with the advancement of AI technologies?
  • How do universities need to adapt their policies on IP and plagiarism?
  • How do you see generative AI changing the practice of academic research and integrity?

Our panellists:

Daniel Wang Zhengkui is an associate professor and director of the Data Science & AI Lab at the Singapore Institute of Technology. His research brings together the fields of data science, artificial intelligence and big data.

Christine Slade specialises in assessment, academic integrity and artificial intelligence in education at the University of Queensland, Australia. She is actively involved in supporting the responsible use of generative AI in both tertiary and K-12 schooling curricula.

Benjamin Liu specialises in financial markets law and the law of artificial intelligence at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has published research papers in both local and international peer-reviewed journals and has been invited to serve as a visiting professor at institutions such as Hong Kong University, City University of Hong Kong and China University of Political Science and Law.

Jenny Davis is associate professor of sociology at the Australian National University (ANU) and deputy director of ANU’s Humanising Machine Intelligence Programme.

This webinar is informative regarding how academic integrity is defined in the context of using Generative AI. As the panel makes clear, there are still many undefined variables involved.

The problem i have with students using AI to generate their answers for assessment tasks, especially as i teach in health, how do you as the educator know that the student has the knowledge they are meant to have learned and be able to apply this knowledge in a clinical setting if they have been using AI in HE? What will the degree be worth if the student has been assisted by AI to complete summative assessments.

Thank you so much for this informative Webinar. My reservation with AI or ChatGPT is that it will make students lazy and lack creative abilities since they have AI to think for them. I don't really think it is

Interesting webinar. I'm still unsure what the benefit is for students, of them using a tool to generate content they should be creating themselves? What's the benefit if they should know, by the end of their degree, how to construct, critique and manipulate information, if that tool does it for them, and they just need to know 'how it did it' and to check whether it 'looks AI generated', or not? And what is the benefit for teachers to be able to say, "I know if it's AI generated, because ChatGPT does not have spelling and grammar errors"?
