The Invisible Gavel: Why We Must Question AI Detectors in the Classroom

Universities are grappling with the rise of generative AI tools, leading to the development of AI detectors to combat academic dishonesty. However, these detectors are not foolproof and can sometimes unfairly flag student work. This raises important questions about fairness, accuracy, and the potential for these tools to inadvertently stifle creativity. As educators and students navigate this evolving landscape, it's crucial to critically assess these technologies to ensure they support, rather than hinder, the educational mission.
