Chinese universities tightening AI usage rules to curb academic misuse is a significant and necessary step. Here are the main aspects:
1. Reasons for tightening rules
Maintaining academic integrity
Academic research and study rely on the originality and authenticity of intellectual achievements. AI, such as ChatGPT, can generate seemingly well structured and content rich texts. Some students or researchers may be tempted to use AI generated content directly in their papers, theses, or research reports without proper citation or original contribution, which seriously violates the principles of academic integrity.
Ensuring the quality of education and research
University education aims to cultivate students' independent thinking, research ability, and knowledge acquisition skills. Over relying on AI for academic tasks may prevent students from going through the necessary processes of in depth study, data collection, and analysis. In research, false use of AI generated results can mislead the academic community and impede the progress of real academic exploration.
2. Types of tightened rules
Prohibiting unauthorized use in assignments and exams
Many universities explicitly state that using AI to complete assignments, including written papers, programming tasks in some cases, and answering exam questions without permission is prohibited. For example, some institutions use anti plagiarism software that can also detect AI generated text patterns to ensure students complete their work independently.
Requiring proper citation if used
If students or researchers do use AI related tools in a legitimate way, such as using AI for inspiration, data analysis assistance (in a proper and supplementary way), they are required to clearly cite the use of AI in their work. This is similar to citing other research references, so that the readers can distinguish between human generated original content and AI assisted parts.
Adjusting curriculum and assessment methods
Universities may also adjust their curricula to include discussions on the proper use of AI in academic activities. For example, offering courses or seminars on AI ethics in academic research. In terms of assessment, more emphasis may be placed on oral presentations, in class discussions, and practical operations that are difficult to be completed solely by AI, in addition to written reports.
This trend reflects the universities' efforts to adapt to the new technological environment while safeguarding the core values of academic activities.
