As the debate over the ethics of ChatGPT continues, it is becoming increasingly clear that universities will need to establish clear policies to address its use. According to Daily, the academic integrity code at Villanova will be updated to include language that prohibits students from using AI tools to generate text and passing it off as their own. However, these policies will likely be a moving target as technology continues to evolve.
In addition to the ethical concerns, ChatGPT also presents a learning opportunity. Some teachers are already incorporating it into their classes as a way to demonstrate the limitations of AI. Additionally, there is a growing industry that specializes in detecting AI use in students’ work.
