Responsibilities with GenAI – student panel discussion (a UAE perspective and beyond)
Dr Zeenath Reza Khan, students from University of Wollongong in Dubai, others
Personal responsibilities in using genAI seems to be the topic of discussion, asking students or faculty to be responsible for fact-checking data, maintaining transparency in use and research, and mitigating bias. However, institutions carry a fair share of responsibilities involving establishing clear guidelines for genAI content, promoting diversity and inclusion, fostering an environment that encourages ethical AI research. This panel discussion seeks to navigate these complexities, elucidating avenues for constructive conversations that can effectively cultivate a safe and thriving academic ecosystem.

Reflections on academic integrity, AI and the Day of Action
Dr Tricia Bertram Gallant, University of San Diego, Board Member Emeritus, International Center for Academic Integrity
In 2008, I proposed that we should stop asking “how do we stop students from cheating” and start asking “how do we ensure students are learning?”. Now, 15 years later with Generative AI in the mix, this focus on learning is even more important. In this session, I’ll talk about drawing on courage to change the way we teach, learn and assess in the era of GenAI.
