Secondary teachers are expressing concern over students increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to cheat on assignments, with some managing to evade detection. While educators acknowledge the potential benefits of AI in education, they highlight significant misuse issues.

He mentioned challenges in determining the extent of AI’s involvement in students’ work, as detection tools can yield inconsistent results.
