AI is reshaping classrooms. Some schools embrace it for lesson planning and differentiation, while others restrict it over concerns about plagiarism and critical thinking.

Educators, how are you approaching writing instruction in the age of AI?

As a journalist, professor, and researcher, I have a firm commitment to truth, transparency, and ethics. Our duty and responsibility as researchers and journalism educators is even greater than that of the rest of the scientific community in combating malpractice and corruption.

And a report by the NY Times (gift link):
Fraudulent Scientific Papers Are Rapidly Increasing, Study Finds
Apple's AI skepticism research serves corporate competitive interests disguised as scientific inquiry.
Technology giants manipulating academic discourse to advance market positioning while claiming objective analysis.
Demand independence between research institutions and commercial AI development interests.
