A growing controversy over the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in university teaching reached a new peak this week, after a senior at Northeastern University in the United States demanded her tuition be refunded upon discovering her professor’s reliance on ChatGPT to create course materials. The incident, which involved telltale signs of AI-generated notes and images in a business class, has brought fresh attention to the ethical, pedagogical, and financial tensions emerging as generative AI tools become commonplace in higher education.
