Recently, CCTV News reported that AI tools have become the "magic tool" for college students to complete reports and papers. However, this phenomenon also raises concerns about academic misconduct. Some college teachers and experts said that a few students use AI to forge research data, edit experimental pictures, etc., which seriously affects academic integrity. A notice from a university's homework group shows that teachers clearly stipulate that all compositions directly generated by AI will be processed at zero points.
A survey by the Yangtze River Daily shows that nearly 60% of college teachers and students frequently use generative AI, of which nearly 30% of college students are mainly used to write papers or homework. Ding Junpeng, scientific research assistant at the Information Network Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education, pointed out that the worst situation is that students use AI to automatically generate papers. In addition, the number of cases of forging or editing images is increasing, and AI technology significantly reduces the cost of counterfeiting.
In response to this phenomenon, many universities have issued specifications for the use of AI tools, and many domestic research teams are also actively carrying out research on anti-identification detection of AI papers. Experts remind that the information provided by AI tools may have flaws in authenticity and accuracy, and sometimes even absurd and erroneous answers.
This phenomenon reflects the double-edged sword effect of AI technology in the field of education. On the one hand, AI tools improve learning efficiency, and on the other hand, they also bring challenges of academic integrity. Colleges and educational institutions need to strengthen supervision, guide students to use AI tools correctly, and maintain academic integrity.
