In-Person Classes Aren’t Safe From AI Cheating Boom

One professor was surprised to learn how easy digital technology makes it for students to cheat on class participation assignments and some exams.

While page 13 offers a great opportunity for classroom activities and discussion posts, it is really pages 14-the end that really got me. I hope you enjoy the read.

I suppose it is VERY dated in the AI world, being 13 months ago that it was published. I wonder what the progress is today.
