Avoiding the Pitfalls of AI-Assisted Academic Misconduct amongst Biomedical Science Students

This presentation examines the ethical challenges introduced by artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI (GenAI), in biomedical education. While GenAI serves as a powerful tool for enhancing learning and research, it also poses risks by enabling academic misconduct. Dr Shiva will elaborate the journey of academics after the introduction of GenAI highlighting common misuse scenarios and their impact on academic integrity. It will be followed by illustrating the importance of clear guidance regarding assessment expectations. Some practical examples will be used to illustrate how traditional assessments can be transformed into GenAI-resilient formats, ensuring fairness and integrity.

Dr. Shiva is the Deputy Dean of the School of Life and Health Sciences at the University of Roehampton in London and a committed researcher in academic integrity and medical ethics since 2002. A founding and board member of the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), he leads the ethics and integrity advisory group, where he has contributed to developing guidelines and policies addressing academic challenges, including the rise of generative AI. He has become a leading voice on strategies to strengthen ethical practices across the academic sector and is dedicated to advancing integrity in all facets of academic life.

Dr. Shiva’s impact extends internationally through his academic mentorships, and workshops, which he has been carrying out with trainee medical doctors, biomedical students, and researchers worldwide, offering insights on medical and bioethics.

His contributions to academic integrity, especially his efforts to integrate ethical considerations into AI engagement, have positioned him as a leading figure in this critical field.
