This article has a lot of generic content about how AI is being used more and more, and how people (including especially instructors) will have to be responsible for AI-generated content created on their behalf. The more interesting remark, though, concerns the possibility of students using AI-enabled browsers to complete teacher evaluation forms. Not much is added to this, but it shows that we won't be able to just block AI-based submissions. It will be indistinguishable from human-typed content. So I agree with the assessment that "we're going to need to design procedures that mimic banking-style transactions that show chain-of-custody actions that services in the financial industry use to validate your credit or debit card."
