A survey by MyCOS found that nearly 60% of Chinese university faculty and students use generative AI frequently, with 30% of students relying on AI for writing assignments—sometimes copying content outright. This has raised concerns about academic misconduct, including falsifying research data and misusing AI in independent projects.
In response, Chinese universities are enforcing stricter AI regulations. Fudan University has banned AI in research design, data collection, thesis writing, and other academic work, with violations affecting grades and degree eligibility. Tianjin University of Science and Technology has implemented AI detection in theses, limiting AI-generated content to 40%.
To counter AI misuse, researchers in China are developing AI detection technologies, while experts advocate for improved academic evaluation methods. Huang Yating of Zhejiang University suggests designing assignments that emphasize critical thinking, making it harder for students to rely solely on AI.
