I think it is important to move away from trying to police AI use – it is not possible (you are right – the detectors are completely unreliable!) and causes undue anxiety for everyone. Additionally, it is also pointless, because AI will be integrated in everything we do. Instead, we need to teach our students how to use AI well. This includes acknowledging which work they did and which work the AI did. I have developed a simple structure for students to use to acknowledge AI use in their work: https://youtu.be/10BXrFC6N_M

They sometimes flag content incorrectly, which makes it harder to have fair conversations with students. I recently read about DocuMark by Trinka, which takes a different path by helping students take responsibility for how they’ve used AI. Encouraging this kind of reflection could lead to more honest and productive interactions in the classroom.
