Summary
This report highlights a significant concern among New South Wales educators regarding the erosion of academic integrity due to accessible generative AI tools.

The findings underscore the urgent need for Australian educational policy frameworks to adapt to rapid AI capability advancements that outpace current detection and governance methods.
