[HYBRID] Smart or Shallow? Postplagiarism, Trust, and the Future of Learning with GenAI In-Person / Online
In the postplagiarism era, GenAI compels educators to confront a fundamental choice: should it be trusted as a complementary tool that enhances learning, or as a competitive tool that undermines it? This talk explores how cognitive and affective trust explain the differences among student, educator, and employer perspectives on AI’s role in education.
Drawing on David C. Krakauer’s distinction between cognitive artifacts, Kumar argues that academic integrity now requires more than attribution or authorship. It requires deliberate pedagogical practices that guide learners to use AI in ways that enhance, rather than diminish, human intelligence.
