The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has challenged academic institutions to ensure ethical practices and reward/promote merit. Adding formal insights into the importance of maintaining academic integrity, this paper examines the association of anti-plagiarism/anti-cheating policies with resources that facilitate such behavior. Using unique internet search indices of policies and resources, we find that the two are positively associated. This association is robust when internet policies are restricted to news searches, and include course syllabi. The findings reinforce the view that policies to check plagiarism/cheating likely lack teeth and maybe a step behind the resources that facilitate unethical behavior.

大学反抄袭/作弊政策在人工智能时代有效吗？来自互联网的探索性证据

人工智能 (AI) 的出现对学术机构提出了挑战，要求它们确保道德实践并奖励/促进优点。本文对维护学术诚信的重要性进行了正式的见解，探讨了反剽窃/反作弊政策与促进此类行为的资源之间的关系。使用政策和资源的独特互联网搜索索引，我们发现两者呈正相关。当互联网政策仅限于新闻搜索并包括课程大纲时，这种关联就很强大。研究结果强化了这样一种观点，即检查剽窃/作弊的政策可能缺乏力度，而且可能落后于助长不道德行为的资源。
