The New School’s academic integrity policy now defines academic dishonesty as the “unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools to generate ideas, images, art/design, audio, video, code, or text for any portions of work,” among other points. But what it fails to define is how students and faculty are meant to understand a world where academics, artificial intelligence, and the future of our careers are now intrinsically linked.
