Beginning next year, students in South Korean primary, secondary, and high schools could be subject to disciplinary measures for academic misconduct if they present AI-generated responses as their own work or neglect to record their use of AI during performance-based evaluations.

The Education Department released on the 23rd a collection of rules named *Measures for Managing AI Use During Performance-Based Assessments*. This comes after disputes, including a recent incident at a Seoul high school where a student faced consequences for using AI to complete an assignment. The guidelines focus on teaching students about proper AI usage instead of implementing total restrictions.

The government set forth three fundamental guidelines for the application of AI in educational institutions:

1. Artificial intelligence can support in classrooms and assessments but should not undermine equity or trustworthiness.

2. Evaluations should demonstrate students’ ability to think on their own, with teachers able to directly observe their performance.

3. Educational institutions should explicitly outline forbidden applications of AI and communicate this information to students and guardians beforehand.

According to these guidelines, schools are required to outline acceptable AI tools for tasks that involve performance evaluation. For instance, students can utilize AI for research purposes but are not allowed to present AI-created text or images as their own work. When AI is employed for research, students need to provide comprehensive documentation, including:

– Which artificial intelligence program was utilized
