Dr. Lorna Waddington is an Associate Professor of International History at the University of Leeds, UK. She serves as the University of Leeds Academic Lead for Academic Integrity, placing her at the forefront of scholarly inquiry into the ethical implications of generative AI (GenAI) across research and teaching. Her co-authored article on the limitations of chat detection tools has already garnered substantial recognition. More recently, she co-authored a study on the ethical use of GenAI that draws on traditional frameworks associated with the Global North. Her current investigations, however, expand this perspective by incorporating diverse ethical traditions to promote more inclusive and pluralistic models of digital responsibility.

Abstract

Amid the rapid adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in higher education, this presentation explores the intricate intersection of academic integrity and knowledge production within sensitive historical disciplines. Drawing on my dual role as an academic integrity specialist and genocide historian at the University of Leeds, I examine the widely used RAG (Red, Amber, Green) framework for GenAI integration in assessments, highlighting tensions between technological innovation and ethical scholarship. The presentation concludes by advocating a shift from simplistic binary views of academic misconduct to a more comprehensive understanding of GenAI's broader impact on academic integrity.
