Introduction of new tools based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in late 2022 immediately changed education. With fast, mostly unlimited access to tools that can write whole essays, many educators worry about academic integrity, and studies so far provide mixed-results about how AI is perceived. This project focuses on how moral decision-making operates in academic dishonesty. We will explore how students and faculty perceive competence and morality of students cheating via AI versus another human. Further, we will examine whether people are aware of these perceptions and whether they use this knowledge strategically in their decisions, ultimately shaping dishonest behavior.
