2 Students Urge Ethical AI Use in Academia as Exams Still Test Human Thinking

Sheli Kanaev of Reichman University and Shachar Ben-Zeref of Ben-Gurion University said AI should support studying—not replace understanding—because students ultimately face exams without the tools.
Gemini and similar systems are already being used to summarize lectures, explain algorithms, build presentations, generate podcasts, quizzes and flashcards, while some lecturers now teach prompt-writing and ask students to document how they used AI.
Both students said the ethical line depends on active verification: AI is probabilistic and can err, so critical thinking, checking outputs and understanding each step remain the student's responsibility.
That shift is also intensifying competition, they said, as widely available tools let more students produce polished work quickly while raising pressure to master multiple tools and prove distinct human value in the job market.
