Can AI and Academic Integrity Coexist?
As AI becomes a staple in classrooms and universities, a big question emerges: Can technology that writes, solves, and creates coexist with the principles of honesty, trust, and fairness that define education?
In this episode of Dare to Disrupt, I'm joined by Dr. Zeenath Reza Khan, Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong in Dubai and one of the leading voices on academic integrity and responsible AI. Together, we explore how AI is reshaping assessment, why traditional exams may no longer reflect authentic learning, and what integrity looks like in a digital-first era.
From ethics and policy to the psychology behind why students turn to AI, this conversation dives deep into the future of fairness, creativity, and trust in education.
