The increasing use of AI in Australian universities has sparked a debate about the role of the nascent tool in education and assessments. While some institutions now prefer traditional methods of testing, others propose a more adaptive approach.

Universities in Australia have seen a surge in students attempting to use AI to write essays or cheat assessments, leading some institutions to return to traditional pen-and-paper tests to combat cheating.
The data also noted a significant decline when compared to the scores from a decade ago. In reading, the average scores have decreased by seven points, while in mathematics, the decline amounts to a substantial 14 points.
The institutions also noted that the educational progress of the students, including the timely completion of degrees and graduation, hangs in the balance. International students, in particular, face the prospect of being unable to apply for post-study graduate visas upon course completion.
