12+ Universities Ban AI Detectors, Redesign Assessments

At least a dozen universities have disabled or banned AI-detection tools amid concerns about unreliability, false positives, and bias, shifting attention toward assessments that make learning visible. Princeton University broke a 133-year honor code precedent by requiring proctoring. A Cornell-led study, a new assessment framework, and a review in New South Wales all explore how to make students' learning visible when AI assistance is widely available. Institutions are moving from negotiating AI access to designing the conditions around it.
