By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

A significant portion of students at Princeton University are using generative AI to cheat on assignments and exams, according to a recent survey. Nearly 30% of all students admitted to cheating, with engineering students reporting higher rates than arts students. This trend is straining the university's long-standing honor code, as students are increasingly unwilling to report their peers for academic dishonesty. AI
