Problems and Countermeasures in University Students' Use of AI for Writing Undergraduate Dissertations

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to an increasing number of undergraduate students relying on AI tools to write their graduation theses, thereby sparking controversies over academic integrity and educational quality. Research indicates this phenomenon has resulted in the following key issues: blurred boundaries of academic integrity and lagging regulatory frameworks‌; decline in critical thinking and weakening of research capabilities‌; defects in detection technologies and misalignment in evaluation systems‌. To address these challenges, countermeasures should focus on three dimensions: constructing a tiered supervision system‌ to clarify ethical academic boundaries; strengthening formative assessment‌ to force strengthened research skills training; developing reliable detection technologies‌ to eradicate superficial evaluations.
