AI-Enabled Cheating

Category: Bad Actors

There is a range of cases where a person can employ the assistance of analytics or AI applications to complete a task, and then represent the outcome as their own work. Some of the cases are clear-cut instances of bad acting, as for example when a student uses an AI to write an answer to an assignment, but others are less obvious, as when a professor employs the assistance of an AI to write an academic paper.
