Week 14 – Encouraging Academic Integrity in an Artificial Intelligence-Enabled World

Weekly Overview

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into education, educational organizations must redefine academic integrity for an AI-enabled world. Rather than relying solely on detection or prohibition, organizations should foster a culture of honesty, transparency, ethical decision-making, and responsible AI use. This week explores how educational leaders can develop policies, instructional practices, and institutional expectations that encourage integrity while embracing the educational opportunities artificial intelligence provides.
