From Plagiarism to Postplagiarism: Shifting from Punitive to Pro-Active Approaches to Academic Integrity in the Age of AI
Tue February 25, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm UTC

This is the closing keynote for the American University in Cairo’s 2025 CLT Symposium.
This session is about shifting away from a punitive mindset, when it comes to academic integrity to set up students for success in and beyond the classroom. There is no question that teaching, learning and assessment have changed since generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT and similar apps have become ubiquitous over the past few years. We can be ethical or unethical about how these tools are used in our classrooms and beyond. In this session, we will talk about students, faculty and leaders’ responsibilities for upholding and modeling academic integrity in ways that set up students for success today, tomorrow and beyond.
This session is not about how to use specific tools. Instead, we will delve into the broad ethical and practical implications of AI for education and business. A key takeaway from this talk is how academic integrity provides a foundation for ethical decision-making beyond the classroom, in the workplace and everyday life.
