Abstract

It is not possible to reliably prevent the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, nor would that be desirable as AI offers many benefits for students. We recommend that appropriate AI usage be taught within software engineering courses and AI tools integrated into examinations. In order to most effectively support today’s students, software engineering curricula must embrace AI.
