🔍 Rethinking Academic Integrity in the AI Era
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education, offering students powerful tools for learning, problem-solving, and creativity. At Legend College Preparatory (LCP) and its AI campus, AI Innovation Academy, we recognize both the opportunities and challenges that AI presents in education.
LCP is committed to integrating AI responsibly while upholding academic integrity. Our approach involves clear policies, continuous assessment improvements, and a collaborative effort among faculty, students, and administrators. Instead of banning AI outright, we embrace its potential while ensuring its ethical and educational use.
📜 LCP’s AI Policy Framework: Ethical Use with Academic Integrity
Our AI policies are built on two key principles:
1️⃣ Encouraging responsible AI use for learning, exploration, and skill-building.
2️⃣ Upholding academic integrity by setting clear guidelines on AI-generated content.
LCP follows practical AI assessment guidelines and ethical AI use policies developed in collaboration with AI Innovation Academy and industry experts. These guidelines help students and teachers navigate where and how AI can be used responsibly.
🤝 A Collaborative, Evolving AI Policy Approach
AI is changing rapidly, and so are our policies. LCP has developed a dynamic AI governance structure where:
✔ Teachers, administrators, and AI specialists work together to refine AI guidelines.
✔ Ongoing conversations ensure that policies adapt to new AI advancements.
✔ Student input is valued, ensuring fair, transparent, and effective AI policies.
Rather than enforcing static rules, we focus on continual improvements through regular discussions, updates, and professional development for educators.
📊 Practical Assessment Guidelines for AI in Education
LCP’s assessment approach ensures that AI is used as a learning aid, not a shortcut. We follow AI Innovation Academy’s best practices for designing assessments that:
✔ Encourage original thought while allowing AI-assisted learning.
✔ Prioritize process-based evaluation (e.g., research logs, drafts, and reflections).
✔ Differentiate between AI-enhanced work and authentic student understanding.
✔ Implement structured AI use in assignments with clear boundaries.

🛡️ Ensuring Ethical AI Use
To help students navigate the responsible use of AI, LCP has adopted a clear ethical framework based on AI Innovation Academy’s Ethical AI Use Guidelines:
✔ Students must disclose AI-generated content when used in assignments.
✔ AI should assist, not replace, student effort.
✔ Plagiarism policies extend to AI misuse.
✔ Critical evaluation of AI-generated content is required to foster analytical thinking.
