Academic integrity and AI, Conservative conference

This week on the podcast we examine how universities are rethinking academic integrity in the age of AI. As institutions move away from blanket bans and detection towards more nuanced approaches to assessment, a new Wonkhe and Studiosity white paper explores how to balance the opportunities of AI with the need to protect genuine learning.

Plus we discuss the Conservatives’ plans to restrict access to student finance for non-UK nationals, proposals to limit Universal Credit for under-25s, and what the party’s conference tells us about its emerging approach to higher education. And we take a look at what else has caught our guests’ attention in higher education policy this week.

With Mark Peace, Professor of Innovation in Education at King’s College London, Annie Bell, Associate Director for Higher Education at Public First, and John Blake, Director at The Post-18 Project, and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
