student use of AI has created an additional burden to understand if work is their own. “I’m actually surprised this


number isn’t higher. I’m thinking that if you just included humanities, it would be much higher. I think it’s made teaching very difficult today. We need to be able to spot it, but it’s not about it being there. It’s about how it was used, and why it was used. Our customers aren’t using our AI detector as a judge and jury, and they shouldn’t. It’s always about starting a conversation with a student about how they used it? Was it useful? What made you think that that was the appropriate use? Having these conversations is really important.” On top of this, students are


getting mixed messages too, said Chechitelli. On one hand they are being told the future of work requires AI literacy and yet they see constant news on the dangers and challenges of AI and how it can erode their own critical thinking. It’s about guardrails, ultimately,


“as academic integrity is way more complicated now,” said Chechitelli. “I would never tell a teacher


not to use AI. That’s up to each individual teacher and depends


on each individual assignment. Every assignment is going to be different and similarly what the teacher’s trying to achieve with each assignment. And I do believe AI is here to stay, but we do need to help young people properly navigate it.” Even while teachers are coping


with increased class sizes, budget cuts and figuring out how to inspire and engage students in a digital-first era, she shared that in a shifting AI landscape, policies for gen AI need to be nuanced and updated


as


technologies develop. For many education institutions,


defining the parameters around usage continues to be a challenge but AI detectors are not a completely faultless solution with reports of some students being wrongly accused of cheating with AI adding to existing fear and confusion. “I always tell institutions, the


number one thing is to have these conversations. You can change your policies over time but at least have them. Don’t ignore that it’s happening around you. It’s super important to be transparent with your students because they’re struggling with understanding how much [AI] is too much.”

Over two-thirds of teachers said clear AI use guidelines in schools need to be a top priority for K-12 leaders. About two thirds of students in grades 6-12 also said that AI in the classroom will significantly improve their educational experience and introduce them to new ideas.
