At my university, we are advised now to include a clear AI policy in our syllabus.
Mine says that if you look like AI, and an AI detector says it's likely AI, i'll dock you points or make you re-do it, even if you didn't actually use AI. And if you're worried about it, you can run your work through an AI detector first
I think this is fair, since looking like AI is already a weakness in this day and age.
But then, I got accused of using AI on Stacker.News: #715713
That didn't feel good, so now I'm conflicted about my own policy, haha
... even if you didn't actually use AI.
It seems unfair to me! There have to be better methods. For example, taking an oral exam.

As I said, I'm conflicted about my own policy.
Part of it is necessary time saving measures for myself. I do my best in teaching, but I also have limited time. I don't really have the time to investigate whether someone actually used AI or not, and I don't have time to give oral exams either. When I ran it by other profs, they actually thought it made sense and was fair, as long as I'm upfront about it at the start.
