• Abstract

    The study of the interaction between STEM education and artificial intelligence is relevant for ensuring academic integrity because of the need to guarantee the efficacy and impartiality of the educational process, which must align with contemporary technological demands and ethical standards. The objective of this research article is to identify the challenges and potential for the utilisation of artificial intelligence in the development of STEM education programmes and curricula. This article examines the efficacy of current preventive measures against students' misuse of AI technologies in the context of STEM education. In the course of composing the research article, the authors employed a systematic approach to analysing and generalising the findings of their review of the literature, with the objective of identifying the critical aspects of academic integrity in the use of artificial intelligence in STEM education. The study employed expert assessment to collate data on the total number of coursework items examined and the number of works in which the GPT detector identified indications of AI usage. The calculation of the percentage of violations of academic integrity through the use of artificial intelligence to the total number of coursework for each speciality revealed that the percentage of violations of academic integrity is greater at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, where the coursework was checked for the first time for the use of AI (7.46%), than at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (4.03%), where the check is carried out for two semesters. Concurrently, there is an emerging concern regarding the increasing incidence of academic integrity violations facilitated by AI technologies. This necessitates the formulation of transparent guidelines governing the deployment of AI in the educational sphere, enhancements to the assessment framework, and the integration of AI-based detection tools into the evaluation of student performance. Moreover, it is imperative to cultivate a heightened ethical consciousness among both students and educators.
