The University Academic Integrity Leadership Community (UAILC) invites you to a panel discussion of document falsification in the era of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence policies largely focus on cheating and plagiarism. Generative technologies have also made it faster and simpler to forge accommodation letters or craft fake messages from health professionals or university personnel, making it even more challenging for instructors to respond to such violations.

Our panelists represent diverse university units, including disability services, student accountability and conduct resolution, ethics and compliance, and faculty and administration. We look forward to a conversation that will address the legal and ethical challenges these tools create. Together, we will discuss the changing landscape, share best practices, and consider future recommendations for the University to safeguard academic integrity, which is a core Penn State value.

This panel is kindly supported by the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence (SITE). Attendance is offered both in person at Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library, University Park and in Zoom. The Zoom link will be shared with remote attendees via Penn State email at least one hour before the event. For planning purposes, please select your preferred means of attendance by Friday, May 24, 2024.
