So the business school awarded money to develop a morally ambiguous (but likely profitable) "study aide" app, and the school ethics board said that creating and using it violated their cheating policies.

Sounds like the most realistic lesson that business school could have taught?

There don't seem to be any indications that it's morally ambiguous. The university apparently got extremely upset that it connected to Canvas (the online assignment platform), but from the lawsuit filing in another comment, it only did that to pull (not submit) documents to turn into flashcards or whatever.

Did it pull college course material?

That could be a copyright violation.

What's used as the backend AI? OpenAI? If then it's more free data for the company that doesn't value people's rights.
