About this listen

In this episode, we unpack how an Australian Catholic University used AI-powered software to flag nearly 6,000 students for alleged cheating in 2024 — about 90% of the referrals related to AI use.
We hear the story of a student named Madeleine, a final-year nursing student who was wrongly accused, had her transcript marked “results withheld,” and waited six months for clearance — meanwhile missing out on graduate job offers. This week we learn that for some students, like Madeline, the hardest test they faced wasn’t in the classroom — it was proving they were telling the truth.
