Denmark requires oral defense of written work to combat student AI cheating
Denmark's education ministry is implementing a requirement for oral defense of all written homework assignments for upper-secondary students in immediate response to increasing use of AI tools for cheating. The measure affects around 9,000 students in the HF program and takes effect immediately. The ministry also recommends screen monitoring during exams and more assignments conducted at school under controlled conditions.
WHY IT MATTERS
The case illustrates how established regulation must adapt to rapid technological change. It also shows that AI challenges are now reaching the core of the education system and require new pedagogical solutions.
