Balancing Innovation and Integrity: Navigating AI Tools in Academic Work
This session explores the capabilities of AI tools, ranging from chatbots and copilots to research and writing assistants, and their integration into academic work. It emphasizes the importance of upholding academic integrity by critically examining how students utilize these tools, ensuring their use supports genuine learning rather than facilitating misconduct. The session highlights the potential for AI to both enhance understanding and pose challenges to authentic engagement, thereby blurring the boundaries between legitimate support and academic dishonesty in a post-plagiarism era. Participants are encouraged to reconsider assessment strategies to uphold integrity principles within this evolving technological landscape.

“I took some ideas from Google”: Navigating Research and Citation in the Age of AI
As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into every online platform, it’s more vital than ever that emerging scholars and researchers understand both the perils of sloppy practice – fabricated references, misrepresentation, unverified results, and outright fraud – and the ways that a University library can help avoid these problems! This session brings librarians together with a misconduct investigator to talk about the kinds of concerns that are being raised, what students are saying in the course of investigation, and how Archer Library can make a difference.
