AI & Education: Plagiarism

Conversations and Lectures with Michael Sears

Since 2018, I've been teaching leadership and ethics at the intersection of the new technologies that are impacting our lives. Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and Social Media have profoundly effected how we work and play and interact. A large part of that "teaching" has been by using cutting edge imagery and audio production technologies that make the lessons engaging. As such, I've been able to present to various audiences in community settings, academia and business conferences, as well as leisure environments in such a way that audiences stay captivated and asking for more.

In this episode of Radio Stockdale at the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, we talk about AI's the "elephant in the room" for educators - Plagiarism. Does the use of AI tools mean plagiarism across the board? What is the connection between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI, where the machine can write an entire paragraph, a page, or even a book just at one prompt? What are some ways to address GAI, LLM, etc. with regard to plagiarism in education?
