Summary
AI is now deeply embedded in college life — often unauthorised — and colleges are struggling with responses. Many institutions fail to enforce coherent, system‑wide policies, risking degradation of learning, peer relationships, and integrity of scholarship. The article suggests radical measures like tech/device bans or stronger honour codes to defend educational values, while teaching responsible AI use where appropriate. Colleges must choose whether to integrate AI or resist it, guided by their core values.
Key Points
- Unauthorised AI use undermines learning and fairness.
- Removes opportunities for deep thinking and writing.
- Institutional goals like originality are compromised by AI’s fabrications and IP issues.
- Proposals: banning devices, honour codes, strict penalties.
- Colleges must clarify values and boundaries for AI use.
