Ivy League Professor Suspects AI Cheating, Orders In-Person Exam; Scores Drop 50%

A recent scandal at Brown University has revealed widespread use of generative AI to cheat on exams, even among elite students. Economics professor Roberto Serrano, suspecting AI-driven cheating, replaced a take-home final with an in-person exam, causing scores to plummet by 50%. This incident follows a Princeton survey showing that 29.9% of students admitted to using AI on at least one exam or assignment, highlighting a growing trend of academic dishonesty at top universities.
