๐ England's university regulator: AI has made coursework "close to impossible" to assess
England's Office for Students says universities should lean on in-person exams, presentations and oral vivas after a study of more than 300 students and staff at 127 institutions found AI use in essays and open-book exams was rife. Students described peers finishing assessments with AI "sometimes in just a few minutes" and getting similar grades. The regulator warned that failing to design valid, reliable assessments could breach registration conditions and lead to sanctions.
โญ It is one of the clearest official admissions yet that generative AI is breaking how degrees are graded, with penalties now on the table.
