74% of engineering professors at Seoul National University said, “Unethical use of AI is increasing when performing tasks.”

Reports and presentations also felt an increase of around 70%... Review of evaluation and teaching method reform

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Minhyuk Yoon = As cheating using artificial intelligence (AI) continues to occur in universities, more than 7 out of 10 engineering professors at Seoul National University have recognized that unethical use of AI has increased during students' assignments.

According to Seoul National University's College of Engineering on the 14th, in a recent survey of 110 professors, 73.6% of respondents responded that the number of cases of students using AI unethically during assignments has increased.

In reports and presentations, 71.8% and 64.6% of respondents said that such behavior had increased, respectively.

Regarding how students use AI, the most common response (55.5%) was 'relying on AI without data exploration.'

24.5% of respondents said they 'accept AI uncritically', but only 18.2% said they 'know the limitations of AI and utilize it appropriately'.

Accordingly, Seoul National University's College of Engineering is also considering the idea of ​​changing relative evaluation to absolute evaluation and converting large-scale lectures into small-scale lectures.

It is known that humanities colleges are also pursuing a plan to organize classes in stages, from classes that limit the use of AI to classes that actively utilize AI.

Recently, universities have been suffering from cheating using AI in exams.

In one major course in the Computer Engineering Department of Seoul National University, 36 of the 62 students enrolled in the first semester last semester used AI in their assignments and received a grade disadvantage.

In October of last year, it was revealed that many students had used AI to solve problems in the midterm exam for the liberal arts course 'Statistics Experiment', and in the final exam of a liberal arts course held by the College of Natural Sciences in the same semester, nearly half of the 36 students in the course were found to have cheated, and all test results were invalidated.

On the 10th, a test taker was caught wearing smart glasses during the natural science and integrated mathematics essay test held at Yonsei University's Sinchon campus.

On the 3rd, a test taker wearing smart glasses was caught at the University of Seoul's natural science essay exam site.
