Roughly two years after generative AI became widely used, AI-assisted cheating spread quickly at Stanford University, prompting the school to reintroduce in-person exams in April after banning them for more than a century. Reports described students using AI in various schemes and in academic dishonesty. A campus survey of 849 computer science students found 49 percent would rather cheat than fail. Similar moves were reported at Princeton University.

OpenAI has been hit with a U.S. class action lawsuit over allegations it shared ChatGPT user data with Meta and Google. The complaint, filed in federal court in California, says OpenAI embedded tracking technology on the ChatGPT website without consumer consent and transmitted personal information externally. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and an injunction. The case adds to other privacy disputes involving OpenAI and similar claims against other AI services.
