Academic Honesty in The Use of Artificial Intelligence in The Educational Process

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly creative AI tools, has quickly found its way into our schools, reshaping how we teach and how students learn. While AI brings some really helpful benefits for education—such as custom learning experiences, immediate feedback, and improved ways to research—it also sparks serious concerns about honesty in academic work. This article dives into the ethical questions surrounding AI in classrooms, points out new ways academic misconduct might appear, and suggests approaches to uphold integrity in this digital era. Drawing on recent practical and theoretical research, this paper proposes that instead of just banning AI, our approach to academic honesty should shift towards encouraging its responsible, open, and educationally beneficial use.
