Should students be allowed to use AI in assignments — and how would you assess it?

AI should be embraced as a collaborative tool that democratizes learning, provided students transparently cite its use and reflect on the ethical implications. Fair assessment should focus on process over product, evaluating critical thinking, human empathy, and personal reflection that no algorithm can replicate.

AI integration is non-negotiable for future leaders, so assignments must reflect real-world executive decision-making. Assessments should grade the strategic prompt engineering, critical verification of AI output, and the student's ability to defend their final synthesis live.
