It's a large step in life to accuse anyone of cheating and as in other realms doesn't innocent until proven guilty apply? I think this is the problem as a lecturer may have a real sense of an AI supported submission but without rock solid evidence it is difficult to penalise anyone (and there may be legal ramifications to this).

the use of AI is a really grey one. I know of pupils asking to AI to check they have included all points within an essay and not change it per se so does this count as cheating? What if AI is used just to restructure existing work or suggest expansion? I think clever students/pupils will work this out.

to my mind AM a is brining us to a world where invigillated exams will be the only fair way of assessment sadly. Indeed I find in my daughter's school this world is soon coming.

And that’s why we have investigations, meetings, opportunities for the student to show drafts of their work and if we still have suspicions, viva exams to test whether the student genuinely has the understanding that their assignment suggests.
