As AI tools like ChatGPT become more widespread, educators are grappling with the rise of AI-assisted cheating. Yet, this challenge doesn't mean defeat. Instead, it’s an opportunity to rethink how we assess and teach students. By focusing on critical thinking, creativity, and more profound learning methods, educators can adapt and turn AI into a powerful ally in education, not just a threat.
