Either way, academic institutions\u2019 tendency to impose rigid rules may well end up sanctioning some students unfairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president of the academic institution where I have been working for thirty-five years, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Santiago_I%C3%B1iguez_de_Onzo%C3%B1o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santiago \u00cd\u00f1iguez<\/a>, has recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/how-fight-academic-cheating-santiago-iniguez-5vv0f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">written about the subject on LinkedIn<\/a>, taking an interesting approach, albeit one that in my opinion doesn\u2019t fully get to the root of the problem. From my experience, I think it is essential to see academic dishonesty in terms of the institution rather than the students because in many ways, students\u2019 behavior reflects the way we measure learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a new problem: trying to measure a student\u2019s performance through a grade, no matter how average it may be, is reductionism. We live in a world in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.driblab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eleven-axis multidimensional graphs are used to evaluate a soccer player\u2019s performance<\/a>, but students simply get a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grading_in_education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grade point average<\/a> that not only provides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/06\/20\/business\/in-head-hunting-big-data-may-not-be-such-a-big-deal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">little or no relevant information<\/a> but often distorts reality. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laszlo_Bock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laszlo Bock<\/a> was senior VP of People Operations at Google and concluded that there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/culture\/google-gpas-are-worthless\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no correlation between a person\u2019s average grade and their professional ability<\/a>. Centuries of development of educational methodologies have helped us to end up focusing on the variable that tells us nothing about someone\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The root of the problem lies in what is known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Goodhart%27s_law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goodhart\u2019s<\/a> Law: \u201cWhen a metric becomes a goal, it ceases to be a good metric.\u201d If institutions and society make a student\u2019s average grade the be-all and end-all, then instead of maximizing their learning, students will make their objective maximizing their average grade, and academic dishonesty is the best way to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus therefore should not be on how to reduce academic dishonesty, but on creating a system that assesses students less simplistically, that properly assesses their potential. As Einstein said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dqTTojTija8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will believe it is stupid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2024\/10\/16\/parents_sue_student_ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Punishing students for using AI runs the risk of destroying their chances of being accepted into a top-tier institution<\/a>. Sure, there are rules, but do those rules make sense? Why simply prohibit the use of AI? Are we talking about dull students who try to cheat the system or very bright ones who simply question the rules? Is it worth clinging to \u201cthe rules are the rules\u201d in such a case? It should be clear by now that traditional rule systems no longer work: <a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/13-8\/misplaced-blame-the-anti-science-error-in-debates-about-new-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to deal with the current scenario, we need a drastic overhaul of the ethics that govern education<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Institutions that prohibit the use of AI are depriving their students of the competitive advantage of knowing how to use the technology properly. Instead, they need to assess students on how well they have used AI; if they have simply copied and pasted, without checking, then they deserve a low grade. But if they can show that they have maximized their performance and can verify the results properly, then punishing them is no different from doing the same for using Google or going to a library. Let\u2019s face it, cheaters are always going to cheat, and <a href=\"https:\/\/restofworld.org\/2023\/chatgpt-taking-kenya-ghostwriters-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there are a number of ways of doing so already<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long and short of it is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/student-papers-generative-ai-turnitin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">students are going to use generative algorithms<\/a>, and if a single grade depends on it, in which their future is at stake, even more so. And as with all new technology, they\u2019re going to misuse them, ask simplistic questions, and copy and paste, unless we train them on how to use it properly. The objective is to use technology to maximize the possibilities of learning, which is a perfectly compatible objective if it is well-planned. Or should we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2023\/jan\/10\/universities-to-return-to-pen-and-paper-exams-after-students-caught-using-ai-to-write-essays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">go back to using pencil and paper to prevent students from using AI<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, I am completely sure that for the vast majority of so-called hard skills, students will <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/ai\/chatgpt-takes-center-stage-students-ditch-tutors-in-favor-of-ai-powered-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increasingly use AI assistants that have adapted to their learning style<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2023\/04\/06\/1071059\/chatgpt-change-not-destroy-education-openai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI isn\u2019t going to destroy education, but to change it<\/a>. And that\u2019s a good thing because we\u2019re still largely teaching in the same way we did back in the 19th century. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/ai-writing-tools-like-chatgpt-are-the-future-of-learning-and-no-its-not-cheating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI is the future of education<\/a>, and no, it\u2019s not necessarily dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment has come to rethink many things in education, and failure to do so may mean the loss of a great opportunity to reform an outdated system that, moreover, has long since ceased to deliver the results we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The article originally appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enriquedans.com\/2024\/10\/sobre-la-naturaleza-de-las-trampas-y-lo-deshonesto-en-educacion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enrique Dans<\/a> (Spanish).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image courtesy: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/User:Hariadhi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hariadhi<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of the academic world is deeply worried about whether AI is leading to more cheating, although academic dishonesty, which covers a broader range of practices, might be a more accurate way of describing the problem.
