IntroductionGenerative AI (GenAI) has fundamentally altered the educational landscape, bringing bothadvantages and challenges. In engineering education, the rapid adoption of GenAI tools hasfacilitated learning but has also spurred a notable increase in academic dishonesty. In the wake ofthis shift researchers have been quick to examine effects. Chan [1] explored this phenomena andintroduced the concept of “AI-giarism”, describing the misuse of AI tools to bypass traditionalplagiarism detection systems through a qualitative study of over 500 students. Li [2] emphasizesin their work the growing ethical dilemmas stemming from hard to monitor usage of GenAI inassessments, ultimately calling for adaptive educational policies to address this issue.
