The IB was early to make statements about GenerativeAI, and adapt documentation to reflect our new situation. The IB has issued this statement on AI, and here is a short video response from Dr. Matt Glanville (Head of Assessment Principles & Practices), shared as part of FIS's AI Symposium. At WAB, we have updated our Academic Integrity Policy & Guidelines. Please visit the links below for the most recent guidance on Academic Integrity from the IB.
"Academic integrity is an essential aspect of teaching and learning in IB programmes where action is based on inquiry and reflection." Key statements, videos and blog posts about moving towards students being "content creators, not content imitators".
"The IB believes that this AI technology will become part of our everyday lives—like spell checkers, translation software and calculators. We therefore need to adapt and transform our educational programmes and assessment practices so that students can use these new AI tools ethically and effectively."
Head of Assessment Principles and Practice, International Baccalaureate. Shared as part of a symposium on AI from Frankfurt International School.

WAB's culture of great teaching, inquiry, conferencing, feedback and iteration on student learning means we are well-positioned to know our learners and to support Academic Integrity throughout the learning process. Students and Teachers must work together in alignment with our Academic Integrity Policy.
