  • Censors at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) are warning about the impact of artificial intelligence on student exams.
  • Reports indicate AI is replacing the learning process, with students unable to explain significant portions of their written work.
  • While some censors express concern, others remain less skeptical, noting students' high performance in some cases.

Censors at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) are raising alarms about the increasing use of artificial intelligence by students, suggesting a potential need to revise examination methods. The concerns stem from observations made during the summer's exams, where AI appears to be substituting the fundamental learning process for some students.

External censors submit annual reports to CBS detailing their assessments of student performance. An insight obtained by Berlingske into 40 such reports reveals a recurring theme: the significant impact of AI on students' academic work. One censor noted, "The use of AI affects students' performance. In two out of three dissertations, it was clear that AI was used to such an extent that students could not account for large parts of the written basis."

This particular censor was involved in evaluating seven master's theses for the business law program. The widespread concern among censors highlights a growing challenge for educational institutions in maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that students are genuinely acquiring knowledge rather than relying on AI-generated content. The ability of students to articulate and defend their work is a key indicator of understanding, and AI's role in bypassing this process is a significant worry.

However, not all censors share the same level of skepticism. One report mentioned that the students were "particularly skilled," indicating that in some instances, AI might be used as a tool to enhance learning or productivity without undermining the student's own comprehension. This censor had evaluated seven master's theses for the International Business program. The differing perspectives underscore the complex and evolving nature of AI integration in education, prompting ongoing debate about its appropriate use and oversight.
