Will AI take over our jobs? How will I catch up with how quickly AI is advancing? In this episode of Take Note, we talked all things AI with Dr Jinan, a postdoctoral researcher at ⁠Australian Institute for Machine Learning⁠.

so what if I got AI to write my whole assignment?

In this episode, we sit down with the Academic Integrity Ambassadors to talk about what it really means to act with academic integrity, and why it matters. From plagiarism to distressing moments, we talk about the challenges students face and how to thrive in university life with honesty and fairness. With AI becoming common in our study routines, how do we use them responsibly without crossing the line into misconduct? Getting AI to do your whole assignment seems harmless, until you forget how to complete a sentence without asking Chatty G. This episode helps clear up the grey areas on what’s chill and what’s shady, and how to use AI tools ethically to support (not replace) your own learning.
