The authority therefore calls on universities to rely more heavily again on traditional exams and in-person presentations. According to The Decoder (DE), it threatens universities with sanctions if they fail to develop reliable assessment formats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>What the study shows\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>A study by OfS and Advance HE with more than 300 respondents at 127 universities reportedly finds that students use AI massively for essays and dissertations, often undetected, and receive grades similar to those who work without AI. Some reportedly wrote entire assignments with ChatGPT and afterwards could not recall basic content. Lecturers report large volumes of uniform submissions with identical sources and identical style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Context\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>OfS strategy chief Josh Fleming sees a threat to the credibility of degrees and a "generational risk".
