Abstract : The rapid development of AI tools, especially generative models such as ChatGPT, has transformed academic practices and has opened up serious issues around academic integrity. These tools provide an unparalleled service to learning and pedagogy, facilitating the abuse of academic integrity, plagiarism, lack of authorship, abuse in students’ assignments without paying the due effort. These challenges undermine the integrity of assessment and trust in higher education. This chapter addresses emerging threats posed by AI and considers how institutions are putting processes in place to protect fairness, accuracy, and good practice. It explores trending global policy changes, legal definitions and technical identification methods – including AI content recognisers – to counteract integrity infringements. It covers novel assessment methods as well, such as oral examination, real-world projects, and AI based methods that lead to transparency. In this way the chapter provides a fair approach for responsibly and usefully integrating AI in education, benefitting from its capabilities without sacrificing honesty and academic integrity.
