Frozen in Time: Croatian Policies on Academic Integrity and GenAI in Higher Education
摘要
This chapter analyses academic integrity policies and practices at nine public universities in Croatia. Generative AI (GenAI) is in use in Croatian higher education, with the number of research projects related to artificial intelligence growing across different fields. Despite the term academic integrity not being used widely in Croatia, the Codes of Ethics and Disciplinary Codes of the universities address academic integrity, misconduct, and ethical values concerning faculty, employees and students. The findings conclude that all universities need to update their disciplinary procedures and reflect on the opportunities and threats of GenAI, as none of them directly link the use of advanced digital tools with academic misconduct. Universities must develop practices that teach students and staff members about GenAI and a culture of academic integrity.
