Academic integrity
Academic integrity: AI may support understanding and drafting, but submitted work must be the student’s own — and rules vary by board and school.

The big idea
Students engage with academic integrity honestly, learn the basics of privacy law and data rights, and map the career pathways where AI capability genuinely matters.
Why it matters
Board year decisions are approaching. Clear rules and an accurate view of the field are both immediately practical.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Privacy and law basics
Privacy and law basics cover consent, data protection and what happens to information typed into a tool.
AI career pathways
AI career pathways span far more than engineering — policy, design, ethics, data, education and law all now need AI literacy.
Did you know?
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, passed in 2023, sets out how personal data must be handled — including data given to AI services.
Common mix-up
“Everyone uses AI for assignments, so it is fine.” Rules differ by board and school, and the consequences fall on the individual.
