GenAI Reading Group: “AI Smart Glasses and the Future of Academic Integrity”

Join us for our monthly reading group exploring generative AI in teaching and learning contexts. This is an informal discussion space for faculty, staff, and educational developers to engage with current research on GenAI in higher education. This event is hosted on the CTSI GenAI in Teaching and Learning Commons Teams Channel. 
This Month’s Reading:
Eaton, S. E., Kumar, R., Dahal, B., Tang, G., Ramazanov, F, & Moya Figueroa, B. A. (2026).

This article uses AI smart glasses as a case study to argue that wearable AI technologies expose the limits of detection-based academic integrity models, which depend on observable evidence that these devices can bypass entirely. Rather than treating the glasses as cheating devices, the authors advocate for a “postplagiarism” approach that redistributes responsibility across institutions, educators, and students – emphasizing assessment redesign, accessibility protocols, and transparent technology guidelines. Their core claim is that in a postplagiarism era, the goal should be to create learning environments where using AI to cheat becomes pedagogically irrelevant.
