Universities regulate use of AI in writing

A number of universities in China have regulated the use of generative artificial intelligence in the writing of graduation theses, as the new technology has sparked controversy about the integrity of academic research.

Fuzhou University in Fujian province has introduced a trial system to detect AI-generated content, which will be used in undergraduate thesis review, with the results to be considered in grade evaluation.

Tianjin University of Science and Technology said that if AI-generated content in an undergraduate thesis exceeds 40 percent, the student will be warned by the college and required to make revisions.
