The scientific literature is rife with papers where ethical waivers were self-awarded. "I decided my own study is exempt" isn't how ethics work. You can't be the judge in your own case. Institutional Review Board (or local ethics committee) determines exemption.

Students and physicians urge limits on for-profit influence after U of M course taught with UnitedHealth Group involvement Senate File 3707, prompted by a University of Minnesota course co-taught by UnitedHealth Group, drew testimony from physicians and students who said corporate-taught content included misleading material; the committee laid the bill over for further consideration.

A proposed bill in Minnesota aims to safeguard medical education from corporate influence after alarming testimonies revealed misleading content in a course co-taught by UnitedHealth Group.

Five virtual group discussions showcase student groups engaging in an online conference about academic integrity.

The fifth annual Researching #academicintegrity Student Conference took place on 16 March 2026. I hope to share some of the insights in separate posts, but I know people have been asking about watching the recording, so this is now available on YouTube (link in first reply).

A citation machine processes papers while a blindfolded student struggles with academic integrity, highlighting potential oversights.

I was reminded earlier this week that points of contention in the #academicintegrity community might not even be considered by other teaching and research staff in their day-to-day duties.

Who Gets Accused? AI Detection Bias, Academic Integrity, and the Uneven Field in Higher Education When universities reach for AI detection tools to police academic integrity, they reach for instruments that are neither accurate nor neutral. Research shows that non-native English speakers, neurodivergent students, and those whose natural writing style resembles AI output face disproportionate false accusations. This article applies a moral panic framework to ask what the response to AI in higher education actually reveals — and who it disadvantages.

Research shows AI detection tools flag non-native English speakers and neurodivergent students at disproportionately higher rates. A new article applying a moral panic framework asks what this reveals about academic integrity — and whether the field was ever level.

Staff bias came up during the session. International students are sometimes reported for misconduct simply because they performed better than expected. That challenge runs deeper than just being an #academicintegrity concern.

Dogmatism In Academia: The Dark Reality Of Power Over Educational Institutions Unchecked authority allows a toxic culture of favouritism, humiliation, and ethical disputes to thrive within educational environments

Pakistan’s education crisis isn’t just about students—it’s about unchecked authority, favouritism, and a system that silences accountability.

A vibrant graphic contrasting research and misuse of AI, featuring figures and icons symbolizing these themes at ICAI2026.

I'm presenting on AI agents and #academicintegrity at #ICAI2026 on Saturday. The timing has worked out such that there’s no shortage of areas I could cover. Perhaps the biggest one was the launch and almost immediate collapse of Einstein AI.
