The expert called for changing the assessment of student papers due to AI

In Russia, it is urgently necessary to change the criteria for evaluating student papers due to the irresistible mass introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the educational process. Evgeny Lukyanchikov, executive director of the Anti-Plagiarism company, said this in an interview with Izvestia.

It's not a shame not to know: why do schoolchildren prefer to ask for help from AI

Students in grades 9-11 trust their teacher more, but they use neural networks more often when preparing for exams.

Neural networks, he said, have become as familiar a tool for students as search engines or text editors, but there are no uniform regulations for their use in Russian universities yet.

"The main risk today is a situation where students are accused of using neural networks without hard evidence, just because the text looks "too good," the expert noted.

He stressed that the key task is not to ban technology, but to create transparent rules for its use, which will provide a kind of "presumption of innocence" for students.

The situation is aggravated by the fragmentation of approaches: to date, only 30 out of more than 1,000 Russian universities have developed their own regulations on the use of AI. At the same time, their standards vary greatly, which creates serious legal uncertainty for both students and teachers.

To solve this problem, Antiplagiat, together with leading universities, is preparing to launch an Expert Council on the Academic Ethics of AI by the fall of 2026, which will prepare standard recommendations for higher education institutions in the country regulating the limits of acceptable use of artificial intelligence.
