Live from ASU+GSV with Joe Thibault

About the Episode: 

In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we chatted with Joseph Thibault of Cursive Technology about the evolving challenge of academic integrity in the age of AI. They explore how traditional approaches to assessment are no longer sufficient, and why institutions must shift their focus from detecting plagiarism to verifying authentic authorship and ensuring learning is tied to the individual student. 

The conversation highlights emerging approaches—like behavioral biometrics and student-centered verification tools—that aim to balance trust, flexibility, and accountability. Ultimately, it’s a call for higher ed leaders to rethink how learning is assessed and validated in a world where AI is reshaping how work gets done.
