WAB Learns: AI for Faculty: Integrity & IB

"Academic integrity is a principle in education and a choice to act in a responsible way so others can trust us. It means conducting all aspects of your academic life in a responsible and ethical manner. The IB expects students to produce genuine and authentic pieces of work, that represent their own abilities."

Limitations of AI Detectors

WAB's culture of great teaching, inquiry, conferencing, feedback and iteration on student learning means we are well-positioned to know our learners and to support Academic Integrity throughout the learning process. Students and Teachers must work together in alignment with our Academic Integrity Policy.

Students should know that some (imperfect) detection tools for AI are available, and they need to be honest in their drafting and submission processes.
Teachers should not depend on these tools, they are not 100% reliable, and have issues with bias. If you have concerns about Academic Integrity, please work with your programme coordinators and teacher-librarians.
