Why isn’t Durham University taking AI cheating seriously?
At Durham University, I have been Chair of the Board of Examiners for Philosophy since 2016. Last week I resigned, because I feel that it is my responsibility to raise a vital issue in higher education, one whose true significance is not understood. The existence of a crisis requiring immediate action is not generally recognised. I am not blaming the deans and pro-vice-chancellors. I want to hold the appropriate figures to account: the Vice-Chancellors. Durham University is a beacon of excellence in the UK university sector. I wish to maintain standards in its top-rated Philosophy department. The issue I am addressing affects students past, present and future, in many leading British universities. It involves a crime that is not victimless.
