416 cases of students suspected of using AI to cheat at Irish universities

At Munster Technological University (MTU) 274 students have been suspected of academic misconduct across its Cork and Kerry campuses since 2019.

Universities have identified at least 416 suspected cases where students may have used AI to gain an advantage in exams or assessments.

However, gaps remain, as a number of higher education institutions still do not record instances of suspected AI misuse as a standalone figure.
