"Student use of artificial intelligence has become so prevalent, high school and college educators say, that to assign writing outside of the classroom is like asking students to cheat. "The cheating is off the charts. It's the worst I've seen in my entire career," says Casey Cuny, who has taught English for 23 years. Educators are no longer wondering if students will outsource schoolwork to AI chatbots. "Anything you send home, you have to assume is being AI'ed.""
"Cuny's students at Valencia High School in Southern California now do most writing in class. He monitors student laptop screens from his desktop, using software that lets him "lock down" their screens or block access to certain sites. He's also integrating AI into his lessons and teaching students how to use AI as a study aid "to get kids learning with AI instead of cheating with AI.""
Student use of artificial intelligence has become widespread, undermining the reliability of take-home writing assignments and essays. Educators report unprecedented levels of cheating and assume outside-class writing may be produced with AI. Schools are adapting by moving most writing tasks into class, using screen-monitoring and lockdown software, and incorporating more verbal assessments. Teachers are also integrating AI as a study tool and teaching students how to use it responsibly. The prevalence of AI is blurring definitions of academic dishonesty and forcing re-evaluation of traditional assessment methods.
