ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, PLAGIARISM AND UNIVERSITIES

Education is a crucial sector of society, but it does not always receive the attention from governments that it rightly deserves. Nevertheless, many of its issues are not solely dependent on the funding brought into the system, but rather on a comprehensive, integrated approach to the entire education system.

The advent of the Internet – as the first major step in digitalisation – and subsequently the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have disrupted a functioning logic that has been established for centuries, which has not been advantageous for the system. However, these technologies are here, and their effects on education multiply every day, one of which is an almost natural increase: plagiarism in universities.

The contemporary context necessitates – across the full spectrum of digital systems' capabilities – that the debate on plagiarism and its prevention holds a prominent place. This is essential to preempt the numerous issues that will inevitably arise should there be a lack of prudent regulation. The text I propose will examine this situation within the dynamic framework of advancing Artificial Intelligence capabilities.
