Universities have told a Senate inquiry it is not 'feasible' to attempt to detect AI cheats, instead saying the sector will have to overhaul its entire approach to teaching to ensure students actually learn what they are meant to.
Instead, it and the nation's other largest universities under the Group of Eight umbrella say the sector will have to change how it teaches and assesses students, using more oral or other supervised exams, practical assessments and the use of portfolios.
The National Tertiary Education Union has also expressed skepticism that universities would be able to completely manage AI misconduct — not only in assessment, but also in research. Monash University described how it has tested using AI "personalised course advisers" to help students navigate their degrees and classes, AI-powered mock job interviews for real positions and simulated customers or clients for learning.
As generative AI begins to be picked up at every part of the learning cycle, the tertiary education union warned that, over time, there was a risk universities may reach a point "where they can no longer assure the required learning has occurred in what they claim to be teaching".
