What happened

A survey by Børns Vilkår reveals that nearly half of Danish 6th and 9th grade students have used AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, in ways they consider cheating. The lack of clear rules and inconsistent teacher guidance contribute to academic dishonesty and confusion about acceptable AI use in schools.
