Hassan Hunt, a diligent junior at Baltimore School for the Arts, faced a significant challenge when accused of using artificial intelligence to cheat on a Modern World History assignment. Despite the school’s high academic reputation, Hassan and his mother, Nicole Edge, argue that the accusation was mishandled. Hassan initially received a B- on his assignment, but his grade was later changed to a zero after his teacher claimed he plagiarized the final paragraph using AI, based on GPTZero detection software. Hassan insists he only used Grammarly for proofreading, not for generating content. The incident highlights a broader issue: the lack of clear policies regarding AI use in Baltimore City Schools. The district acknowledges AI’s potential as an educational tool but also its challenges concerning academic integrity. Despite finishing the year with a B, Hassan’s record still shows a cheating mark, and his family was denied a chance to contest the accusation in person. The case raises concerns about the fairness and clarity of current academic policies regarding AI.
