Abstract

This chapter examines the impact of Generative AI tools on higher education (HE). The authors explore how these tools, while enhancing learning experiences, pose significant challenges to academic integrity and higher education by fostering a false sense of achievement among students. The chapter delves into the complexities of using generative AI in academic settings, highlighting the ease with which students can produce passable assignments with minimal effort, thus bypassing critical thinking and deep engagement with the subject matter. It critically analyzes the inadequacy of traditional assessment methods in distinguishing genuine student work from AI-generated content. The authors discuss the implications of this reliance on AI tools for the development of essential cognitive skills and the authenticity of academic qualifications. Furthermore, the chapter proposes assessment strategies and policy recommendations to ensure the responsible and ethical use of AI in HE.
