Prof. Cath Ellis, pro vice-chancellor for quality and integrity at Western Sydney University, wrote an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald, urging students to avoid using AI to shortcut their education. However, the piece was later removed after it was revealed that it had been generated using AI technology without proper disclosure. Ellis had uploaded 40,000 words of her own original work into a Copilot Large Language Model, which assisted in drafting her article. The university stated that this use of AI was appropriate and reflected her expertise. Despite this, the Sydney Morning Herald's editor, Jordan Baker, noted that the article did not meet editorial guidelines, as AI usage was not disclosed by either the author or the university. This incident raises significant questions about academic integrity and the ethical use of AI in writing, as similar cases have emerged in media outlets globally, leading to concerns about transparency and authenticity in journalism.
