Study Reveals 94% AI Outperforms University Students in Exams, Only 6% Detected

A recent study has revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) can outperform university students in exams, raising significant concerns over the integrity of remote examinations. Researchers at Reading University secretly submitted 33 AI-generated exam answers to take-home exams for Psychology BSc. The findings showed that 94% of these AI submissions went undetected and consistently outperformed human students, averaging half a grade higher. Only 6% of the AI fakes were detected, and AI achieved better results than 80% of university undergraduates. The lack of automated methods to detect AI usage and the absence of clear policies on AI use in academic settings further exacerbate the issue.
