AI at university. Behind a student's good job may lie an illusion of competence

Generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges for universities regarding student independence in academic work. It is crucial to maintain human oversight in creative processes, ensuring that students engage critically with AI-generated content. While AI can assist with technical tasks, the core intellectual work must remain the responsibility of the student. Universities are encouraged to develop guidelines for AI use, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and the documentation of processes. The evolving landscape of education may normalize AI tools, similar to the integration of the internet in academia, but vigilance is necessary to uphold academic integrity.
