The solution to AI in education is three-fold but simple
We cannot stop school and university students using AI to cheat (or learn) and it’s pointless to try.
AI is too hard to detect.
And AI is just too highly useful in the real world. Especially for research and personalized learning in fact.
But the solution to AI plagiarism is childishly simple (and no surprise):
- School and university students should be assessed in class on computers in non-internet mode. It’s simple. It needn’t take too long either.
- Online testing is problematic but solvable IMO with webcam-based AI monitoring (maybe via cheap, secure, tamper-proof webcams with digitally signed verification in the future?).
- And stop giving students homework anyway. Let students have a life outside of school.
What about university / long assignments?
Long university assignments and even theses could, and should, be checked via interviews — likely conducted by AI — concerning their work.
GPT is up to this easily even now.
Students who did not write the assignment or thesis will not defend well in interview. Even as measured by an AI.
