But it&#8217;s too well-written, too structured, too &#8220;perfect.&#8221; The suspicion immediately arises: perhaps it was done by artificial intelligence. The first impulse is to use an AI-generated text detector. We apply it to the paper, and the tool tells us that there&#8217;s an 87% probability it was generated by a machine. Then we give free rein to the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cset.georgetown.edu\/publication\/ai-safety-and-automation-bias\/\"><span dir=\"auto\">automation bias<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0that makes us uncritically accept automated decisions. Case closed. Verdict reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Or is it? The case is not closed. This computer verdict is not only unreliable; it is, above all, unfair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Artificial intelligence detectors seem like a logical solution, but they have two fundamental problems. The first is technical:\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40979-023-00146-z\"><span dir=\"auto\">they don&#8217;t work well<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. The second problem is more relevant: even if they worked perfectly, they wouldn&#8217;t solve the real problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">A technically fragile solution<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Unlike traditional plagiarism, where a text is compared to existing sources, here there is no original to compare it against. The aim is to distinguish between statistically human text and text statistically generated by a machine to appear human. It&#8217;s a dividing line that is difficult to draw and increasingly blurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Furthermore, there are reasons to believe this boundary will disappear. The better the generative models become, the more indistinguishable their output will be from human output. Detecting the use of artificial intelligence will be like trying to differentiate between two equally plausible texts, a task that, taken to its extreme,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/openreview.net\/forum?id=OOgsAZdFOt\"><span dir=\"auto\">resembles flipping a coin<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. Pure chance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">The cost of making a mistake<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">We could accept that detectors make mistakes in some cases. But in education, those particular cases matter a great deal. Like all classifiers, AI-powered text detectors will make two types of errors: false positives and false negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">A false positive, that is, accusing a student who has done the work of fraud, has serious consequences: anxiety, helplessness and, in many cases, an accusation impossible to refute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">On the other hand, a false negative, failing to detect those who have used AI, has a more diffuse but equally damaging effect by rewarding those who did not fulfill their academic commitment: it erodes trust in the education system itself, and students perceive that the effort does not pay off, and motivation deteriorates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Systems can be adjusted to minimize false negatives or false positives, but not both at the same time. (For example: either we adjust the system that detects breast cancer in X-rays so that it doesn&#8217;t miss any potential cases, at the cost of overdiagnosing, or we let cases slip through.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Thus, using these systems will always involve accepting one of two types of injustice. If we minimize false negatives, we are opting for an evaluation based on control: we prioritize preventing any false negatives from &#8220;slipping through,&#8221; even if some of those detected are not actually texts written by AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Conversely, if we care more about avoiding false positives, we will be advocating for an evaluation that prioritizes learning and minimizes the penalty for error to a student who has made the effort to write their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">A poorly framed problem<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">However, even if we solved the technical and ethical problems (for example, by opting to let some artificial text slip in so as not to penalize unfairly), we would still not address the essential issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Many academic tasks are meaningful because\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/openlibrary.org\/books\/OL25995261M\/Psychology_And_The_Real_World_Essays_Illustrating_Fundamental_Contributions_To_Society\"><span dir=\"auto\">they involve cognitive effort<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0: writing an essay, preparing a report, or solving an exercise requires time and work. And that effort is precisely what\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1207\/s15516709cog1202_4\"><span dir=\"auto\">generates learning<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Artificial intelligence may not only be causing unfair grades, but it has also broken the link between those tasks and the cognitive effort they required. This completely changes the meaning of assessment. When AI tools are used,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/como-saber-si-un-estudiante-ha-aprendido-aunque-use-inteligencia-artificial-276430\"><span dir=\"auto\">learning may not be taking place<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">The illusion of detection<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The detectors offer something very tempting: a sense of control. They allow us to think that the problem is contained, that it&#8217;s enough to identify those who commit fraud by breaking the rules. But that feeling is deceptive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">As the joke goes, we&#8217;re looking for the keys under the lamppost, not because we lost them there, but because that&#8217;s where the light is. In other words, we try to detect learning in the places we know to look, without worrying whether this necessarily implies that learning is actually happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The reliance on final products (a text, a report, a solution) as evidence of learning was already questionable: do they truly guarantee that a student understands a topic? Now, they are simply insufficient. Therefore, investing effort in improving assessment is, at best, irrelevant. And at worst, a distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">When the solution makes the problem worse.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The systematic use of detectors shifts the educational relationship toward suspicion. Instead of fostering student co-responsibility in their learning, it introduces a logic of surveillance in which the student becomes a potential offender, ignoring the presumption of innocence, and the teacher, a monitor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This has more than just ethical implications. It also affects learning. Trust, autonomy, and responsibility are difficult to develop in an environment where the priority is avoiding accusations. Thus, paradoxically, in trying to protect academic integrity, we may be eroding the very conditions that make it possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Change direction<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Instead of asking ourselves &#8220;How do I detect if a student has used AI?&#8221;, we could ask ourselves &#8220;How do I design an assessment in which using AI without learning is pointless?&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This means, for example, designing tasks where the value lies not only in the final result, but also in the process followed. Or proposing activities that require interaction, context, or decision-making that cannot be easily delegated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">It&#8217;s not a simple or immediate solution. But, unlike detection, it addresses the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/revistas.uned.es\/index.php\/ried\/article\/view\/47174\"><span dir=\"auto\">core of the problem<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0: a rethinking of assessment methods.
