Educational institutions are actively crafting policies to navigate the complexities ofGenAI usage while maintaining academic integrity [2], [3].Recent advancements in GenAI have ushered in a new era for educational methodologies,offering innovative tools for learning and teaching. Integrating GenAI tools such as ChatGPTand MidJourney into educational practices is becoming increasingly common, with these toolspredicted to become as ubiquitous as traditional software like Microsoft Excel in the near future[4].

recognized as a critical professional skill in support ofengineering design work. As such, there are a growing number of curricular initiatives to supportthe development of engineering students' empathy as a design skill [14]. These initiatives span avariety of approaches, including stakeholder engagement in human-centered design, service-learning projects, and curriculum on ethical impacts of our engineering work [18]. However,within engineering, students identified empathy as a critical interpersonal skill for buildingrelationships in their everyday lives, yet struggled to see how empathy is involved in theirengineering work [19].

Furthermore, there are discussions that such applications struggle to adequately improve thequality of courses in the humanities. Many of the assessment tools have difficulty identifying highquality responses from low effort ones. In fact, open source AI chatbots can be used to trick MLgrading algorithms and remove the student from the feedback loop altogether. Thus, there arisesthe need for ML algorithms to detect ML submissions. This requires educators to invest time andenergy better diverted to course material and development to focus on the ethical ramification ofsuch problems. Lastly, many of these methods are algorithmically
