Poll Of the Week

Should students in high school and universities be allowed to use Generative AI to write academic papers?

This question reflects a critical debate in modern education as AI tools like ChatGPT and others become increasingly accessible. Advocates argue that AI can be a valuable educational resource, helping students enhance their writing, organize ideas, and understand complex concepts. On the other hand, critics worry about plagiarism, loss of originality, and over-reliance on technology, potentially undermining students' ability to develop critical thinking and writing skills.

27% Yes, with no restrictions – Generative AI can be a legitimate tool for writing academic papers.

39% Yes, but only as a support tool – AI can assist with ideas or editing but not write the entire paper.

8% Only for specific cases – Allow AI for certain subjects or non-graded assignments.

25% No, it should be prohibited – Writing should remain entirely the student’s work to uphold academic integrity.
