I am honoured to have received the International Center for Academic Integrity’s 'Waldvogel Exemplar of Integrity' award for my work exposing the flaws of AI detection.

A frustrated student holds a failing grade amidst symbols of academic integrity, legal issues, and global education challenges.
My final session at #ICAI2026 was another breakout group focused on working with international students, an overrepresented group in academic misconduct cases. There was a lot of frustration expressed in the room, but not many solutions.
A vibrant graphic features the phrase "All Things AI," emphasizing themes of inquiry, learning, and brainstorming in technology discussions.
Spending my Sunday morning concluding #ICAI2026. Joined the All Things AI breakout group and the discussion covered a lot of ground, but it was clear to me that many delegates just hadn’t been able to keep their #GenAI understanding up to date. Here are some highlights.
Presentation slide titled "Building Academic Integrity Across Campus" with details about presenters and the session's date and time.

And, now back to largely human written posts. Enjoying my final #ICAI2026 parallel session presentation from two student presenters, Akshay Valoor and Grace Feng.
My final advice for educators from #ICAI2026 - get familiar with AI agents and try them out. Students will increasingly hand in work created through multiple agent interactions, and we cannot see all the reasoning behind the final output. Assessment needs to adapt. This is where we're heading.
Abstract shapes represent a diverse audience engaged in discussion, emphasizing themes of connection and communication.
Closing my #ICAI2026 talk with a thought, asking will AI eventually understand more than humans about academic integrity? There’s an irony of building systems that might surpass us. Very grateful to have had a human audience. I’ve spend a lot of time recently talking to AI agents.
Mentioning Kimi Agent Swarm at #ICAI2026. This is one of the more capable agent systems available now. I used it to methodologically identify the top 100 academic integrity books. Some of the people in the room were on the list.
Abstract design featuring flowing waves in blue and orange tones, intertwined with geometric shapes and lines on a light background.
Discussing AI agents at #ICAI2026 and the pace of change is genuinely hard to keep up with. What I could demonstrate six months ago barely scratches the surface of what's possible now. Four examples made it into today's talk from around a hundred experiments. There’s a lot of research out there.
Abstract design featuring geometric shapes, graphs, and documents, representing data visualization and academic themes.
Sharing some data at #ICAI2026. 31% of 2025 academic integrity papers had AI terms in the title, and 26% focused on education. I used ChatGPT to turn the research into slides for my academic integrity research class. The irony of using AI to present on AI isn't lost on me.
Abstract design featuring interconnected screens, charts, and gears, symbolizing the integration of AI in education and digital processes.
Mocked-up newspaper headline discusses an AI named Einstein logging into a student system, highlighting rapid advancements in AI technology.
At #ICAI2026 discussing how AI agents have gone mainstream faster than expected. Referencing a mocked-up newspaper (created by an agent) about Einstein AI logging into Canvas as a student, watching videos, doing the work. The hypothetical is becoming reality quicker than we anticipated.
At #ICAI2026 describing my live transcription workflow, dictate into my phone, send this to OpenClaw to draft tweets with images, then queue this for review. I'm not auto-publishing because I want to check what Zak produces first. It's not working perfectly. That's rather the point.

Just presented at #ICAI2026 on how AI agents might actually function in education, including practical applications and genuine limitations. I also had an AI agent generating social media posts live while I presented. A few examples will follow.

AI detection at #ICAI2026 day 2, with Bradley Emi and Marilyn Derby. Bradley notes that the statistical patterns are converging regardless of model, rather than becoming more undetectable, improving how well current AI detection engines work.

Joining Rachel Gorjup at #ICAI2026 now to find out about the International Day of Action for Academic Integrity. Lots of opportunities to get involved and to help us come up with ideas for this year’s event (and to discuss how the integrity cake decorating student contest will work).
Dawn Atkinson and Stacey Corbitt present on engaging students with academic integrity through open textbooks at #ICAI2026.
Final parallel session of day 1 of #ICAI2026. Dawn Atkinson and Stacey Corbitt have developed three open textbooks on academic writing, and they say their stepped approach helps engage students with academic integrity. They recommend varied repetition of concepts to help students understand nuances.
A presentation slide outlines "Designing Inclusive Assessments in the Age of AI" by Stephen Bunbury from the University of Westminster.

LSEAIN member Stephen Bunbury has braved the trip from London to #ICAI2026 to talk about inclusive assessment in this AI first age, changes that are beneficial for all students.

Jane Forbes, presenting at #ICAI2026, surveyed 351 faculty members (90.6% adjuncts). She found that faculty would most likely report academic integrity breaches if they thought students would be held accountable, or if the intervention would be useful for the students.

“Stress is a laughing matter” #ICAI2026 keynote with Paul Osincup. Humour, of course, is subjective, but I did discover that it’s much easier to think of positive comments than negative ones.

I’m looking forward to seeing people at my #ICAI2026 academic integrity presentation tomorrow on AI agents (Saturday March 7 at 13:30 in Silver Room).
A sneak preview of my slides is attached. Yes, I have far too many slides, as usual.

Made it through the Denver snow to #ICAI2026 and three days of academic integrity. Looking forward to what is billed as a presenter famed for “side-splitting comedy” for the welcome keynote.
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.
A father whispers to his daughter on a train, while she holds up her hand in refusal, emphasizing a lesson on integrity.
On route to #ICAI2026, I overheard a father on the tube coaching his daughter on how to sneak her phone into school. She refused and said classmates had already been caught with phones in their bags. The role reversal says something important about #academicintegrity education.
Graphs and diagrams showcase research data on AI plagiarism litigation and methodologies, indicating trends in academic integrity for 2026.
Don’t you just love it when your AI agent sends you a load of research results, graphs, diagrams, methodological documents, and even screenshots of their work-in-progress over Telegram? More at the #ICAI2026 #academicintegrity conference next Saturday.
