integrity for clarity, relevance, specificity, and consequences.Recognize any gaps in current departmental policies and develop measures to address them.• Address the appropriate use of AI.All department members should take steps to evaluate its ongoing use.• Create a student orientation program to engage in ongoing dialogue regarding the appropriate use of AI as it relates to fundamental principles of academic integrity and professionalism (Surahman and Wang 2022).• Ensure that a written academic integrity policy is consistently used across academic programs within the department.• Reinforce a culture of professional responsibility that communicates the consequences associated with violations of academic integrity.• Encourage faculty to use AI detection software as appropriate for specific assignments with clear instructions.• Collaborate with faculty to develop opportunities for students to engage in self-reflection activities that foster realworld personal and emotional experiences, which are lacking in AI-generated text.• Promote individualized assignments such as in-class discussions or online posts, live and recorded presentations, and debates to reduce the incidence of violations of academic integrity.• Reinforce the use of concise guidelines and rubrics to clearly communicate the expectations of academic work and the appropriate use of AI. ConclusionHigher education continues to be challenged to examine the use of diverse types of AI while ensuring academic integrity.As AI continues to grow and disrupt higher education, it necessitates ongoing dialogue among academic departments to evaluate its influence on teaching and the evaluation of student performance.Academic leaders are uniquely positioned to facilitate the development of clear and concise communication, relevant policy and documents, appropriate evaluation strategies, and current guidelines for using AI detection software that promotes academic integrity.
