  This report investigates the perceptions of teaching staff on the prevalence
of student cheating and the impact of Generative AI on academic integrity. Data
was collected via an anonymous survey of teachers at the Department of
Information Technology at Uppsala University and analyzed alongside
institutional statistics on cheating investigations from 2004 to 2023. The
results indicate that while teachers generally do not view cheating as highly
prevalent, there is a strong belief that its incidence is increasing,
potentially due to the accessibility of Generative AI. Most teachers do not
equate AI usage with cheating but acknowledge its widespread use among
students. Furthermore, teachers' perceptions align with objective data on
cheating trends, highlighting their awareness of the evolving landscape of
academic dishonesty.
