Abstract

ChatGPT presents a serious risk to the integrity of university qualifications, as continuous-prose assignments are instantly produced by this online tool. ChatGPT constructs unique responses, so any output cannot be detected through traditional means such as Turnitin. As such, it represents a real threat to academic honesty. This leads to discussion of what students need to be able to demonstrate where technology provides a shortcut to a product. It is fair to refer to ChatGPT as a disruptive technology, especially considering the changes to assessment that may result.
