This is not surprising. While cheating has always been around, it seems to be more prevalent now with high pressure and easy access.

I’ve talked to a bunch of teachers and school leaders, and see three main ways schools are handling AI use in assessments:

1. Punish it: Detect AI use on homework and take home exams; treat it as cheating.

2. Prevent it: Move to live assessments – oral or offline – that are hard to cheat on.

3. Embrace it: Assess the process, not the output.

The second one seems to be the only real answer for foundational subjects. And the third one can also work for more creative or project-based work.
