A consultation on trends in academic ethics and integrity

On Tuesday, 24 October 2023, a Consultation on Trends in Academic Ethics and Integrity was held at UP, organised by the UP Ethics Commission.

In recent years and months, we have seen major shifts in the field of academic integrity and ethics, as we are witnessing the emergence of artificial intelligence tools in the higher education area, and at the same time we are witnessing a paradigmatic shift in confronting academic misconduct. Artificial intelligence thus raises a number of questions related to the quality and credibility of student-written products, while in the field of student violations, the action shifts from retributive justice to restitutive justice, which tries to understand the circumstances of the occurrence of violations.

At the consultation, Dr. Tomaž Grušovnik presented both the Trends in Academic Ethics and Integrity and the Results and Analysis of the Opinion Survey on Student Misconduct in Examination and Assessment at UP, Dr. Ernest Ženko presented his position on the use of artificial intelligence at UP, followed by Dr. Grušovnik's presentation on the work of the UP Commission for Ethics in Research Involving Work with Human Subjects. The meeting was rounded off by Ingrid Orel's presentation of the Academic Integrity and the UP Integrity Plan.

The event also presented the findings of the working group for the preparation of the document titled "Position on the use of artificial intelligence at the University of Primorska" (just in SLO), and the working group for the implementation of the UP Integrity Plan.
