College of Arts and Sciences Professor and Dean Discusses AI and Academic Integrity

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擯rofessor and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Robert Prickett is featured on a national podcast, The EdUp Experience, as part of its Academic Integrity Series. Sponsored by Pangram Labs, the episode is hosted by Elvin Freytes and Bradley Emi, the co-founder and CTO of Pangram Labs, a company that develops AI detection tools.    

Prickett discusses the topic, 鈥淲hy Teaching With AI鈥擭ot Against It鈥擨s the Future of Academic Integrity.鈥� One of the questions the hosts asked was: 鈥淗ow does Prickett define academic integrity and its connection to 猫咪头条’s Christian values?鈥�

鈥淎cademic integrity鈥攖he commitment, as I see it, to honesty, truth, and responsible scholarly work鈥攄eeply aligns with our 猫咪头条 values by reflecting God’s character of truth and transforming education into sacred stewardship rather than mere personal achievement,鈥� Prickett explained. 鈥淲hen students commit to academic integrity, they acknowledge their education as preparation for meaningful contribution to both divine purpose and human flourishing (aka GWU motto), where each responsible academic effort becomes an act of worship and service.鈥�

Other topics include:

• Faculty strategies for incorporating AI as a learning tool rather than policing its use.
• Creating process-focused assignments that work with rather than against AI tools.
• Addressing equity issues in AI tool access across student populations.
• The importance of maintaining the human element and critical thinking in a world with AI.
• The value of liberal arts education in developing students’ critical evaluation of AI outputs.
