Introduction:
Contract cheating is a form of academic dishonesty where students outsource their coursework to third parties, who complete the work on their behalf. This can include hiring someone to write essays, paying for answers to exam questions, or even purchasing entire course assignments. Contract cheating undermines the core principles of academic integrity and devalues the hard work and achievements of others.
Generative AI, on the other hand, refers to artificial intelligence models that can generate text, such as essays or articles, based on given prompts. While these AI tools have numerous legitimate applications, they can also be misused in academic settings by students who submit AI-generated work as their own, thereby circumventing the learning process.
