It is morally wrong to use AI detectors when they produce false positives that smear students in ways that hurt them and where they can never prove their innocence. Do not use them. https://t.co/cSBZRHgif5

And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who joined us for #bbcqt this evening, whether in the studio, in the spin room, or via live TV. As always, a huge thank you to the BBC and UoY colleagues who helped organise the event, bringing politics and democracy right here to campus

Was a pleasure to co-organise and run the Online EAP Assessment Literacy in TNE Contexts Conference today. Some fantastic presentations and thought-proking discussions. The need for more dialogue/communication the main takeaway. #TNE #UniRdg_ISLI #EAP

Teaching a class on prompting, and, once again, after a few rounds of prompts, my students find the big AI writing detectors say their AI work is written by humans. Your AI detection tools are only identifying the bad AI users (and falsely accusing many others). Don’t use them!
