The university said it uses several measures to guide students against misuse or unethical use of AI.
The University of South Africa which has previously been involved in cheating scandals, has denied allegations of an AI scandal.
In a statement on Friday, the university said it promotes the responsible and ethical use of AI tools, recognising both their benefits and risks in education. “The university also promotes the usage of Turnitin, a web-based text-matching software that has an AI content detector as one of its measures to protect academic integrity. The University remains satisfied on the efficacy of its measures in detecting acts of misconduct during its assessments,” the statement read.
“Disciplinary measures are applied fairly and consistently; and without fear, favour or prejudice. To ensure that the principle of innocent, until proven guilty, is applied and that the affected students are not disadvantaged, students are allowed to register for other modules and/or remain in the system until the finalisation of the investigation and disciplinary processes,” Huma added.
