Introduction

 AI tools like ChatGPT have brought great potential to education, but they are often misused by students for plagiarism and bypassing genuine learning efforts. At UNAM, it’s crucial to implement a balanced approach that discourages misuse while encouraging productive AI use.  This project seeks to tackle the growing misuse of AI in academic writing among students at UNAM. With the rapid rise of AI tools capable of generating essays and research papers etc. there is an increasing concern about the erosion of academic integrity, the devaluation of critical thinking and the potential long term harm to student’s academic and professional development. Recommendations in this report seek to engage UNAM students as they work together on pressing policy issues that arise as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in education.   AI can be defined as “automation based on associations.” When computers automate reasoning based on associations in data (or associations deduced from ...
