In this session, we will review different ways AI can be used for plagiarism and cheating, talk about AI text detectors and non-technological ways of looking for AI-generated content, along with the limits of both, strategies for approaching AI cheating with students, and discuss the current UM policies regarding unauthorized use of artificially generated content.

Fall 2025
Artificial Influence and the Engineering of Mass Persuasion
Nov. 7, Missouri University of Science and Technology
The Artificial Influence and the Engineering of Mass Persuasion conference, co-hosted by the Center for Science, Technology, and Society (CSTS), the Kummer Institute Center for AI and Autonomous Systems (KCIAIAS) and Miner AI, seeks to explore: How is artificial intelligence affecting mass persuasion techniques and technologies? What persists when persuasion migrates from broadcast to bandwidth? How exactly do large language models draft propaganda? How do recommender graphs, neuromarketing sensors, location beacons, and “dark-pattern” interfaces collaborate to bend emotion toward action? When does a nudge become coercion? Are data subjects entitled to cognitive sovereignty? How do bodies feel algorithmic persuasion, and how might somatic knowledge inform the design of inoculation strategies? What mass persuasion practices cultivate resilience, and which ones toxify the public sphere?
A call for proposals is open to graduate students, adjunct and full-time faculty, research staff and independent scholars until Aug. 6.
