Abstract

The development and introduction of AI language models have transformed the way humans and institutions interact with technology, enabling natural and intuitive communication between humans and machines. This paper conducts a competence-based analysis of an emerging AI language model’s task response to provide insight into its language proficiency, critical analysis and reasoning ability, and structure and relevance of the response. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted, drawing from fields such as Accounting, Education, Management, Social Work and Law, to evaluate the responses generated by the AI to higher education assignments. This paper offers insights into the strengths and limitations of language-based AI responses and identifies implications for the design and implementation of higher education assessments.

  • The emergence of GenAI in higher education has raised concerns about academic integrity, authenticity of student work, and potential reduction in students' development of essential cognitive and creative skills.

    “The disruptive nature of GenAI as a technology and its emergence in higher education has raised a range of concerns around academic integrity, the authenticity of student work, and the potential reduction in students’ development of essential cognitive and creative skills [3, 4].”

    From Generative AI in Higher Education: Balancing Innovation and Integrity (2025) · cites this paper as [4]

    The Implications section identifies ChatGPT as a potential threat to academic integrity and discusses cheating and disclosure of AI contributions to assignments, supporting concerns about the authenticity of student work. The theoretical framework says AI can relieve students of thinking and applying concepts, but the paper does not specifically link GenAI use to reduced development of students’ creative skills; its discussion of creativity concerns the quality of ChatGPT’s writing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
