The Southern Federal University's Institute of RUDN in Sochi has decided to cancel mandatory final qualification works for law students in the 2024-2026 intake due to the widespread use of artificial intelligence in writing these papers. The institute argues that AI-generated content undermines the purpose of evaluating student knowledge and is shifting towards assessing strategic thinking and ethical decision-making.
Consensus
