(AI)2ed: Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence: ChatGPT in Leanring and Teaching

About this initiative

The European Network for Academic Integrity recommends that staff and students be guided on the benefits and limitations of AI tools and that students be provided the opportunity to develop the skills required to work with AI technology in an ethical way. One way to achieve this is to introduce emerging technologies, including GenAI, into student learning alongside academic integrity so that students will be more likely to associate the use of these with good practice. The (AI)2ed project was carried out with the aim of developing guidance on the responsible use of generative AI (GenAI) tools in learning and teaching, framed through academic integrity, to enable responsible integration of this technology into student learning. Using ChatGPT as an exemplar of GenAI, we considered how it could be used as an assistive tool to improve learning rather than to bypass key learning, leading to academic misconduct. The primary objective of the (AI)2ed project was to work with staff and students in partnership to create the UCC Toolkit for the Ethical Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence as an open-access guidance resource on the use of GenAI in higher education.
