We had a recent faculty retreat to deal with this issue. The result was measures going back to the future.

No more online quizzes and exams, pen and paper.

No more PowerPoint slides shared with class.

1/3 of lectures are on the whiteboards again.

People are getting into medical schools cheating with AI. We have students getting A+ without ever showing up. We are now seeing a record number of students getting withdrawn from medical and graduate schools because they faked it until they didn't make it.

This is coming from high schools where teachers are telling kids AI is the future.
