University students are earning more top grades than at any other time in history. There’s something suspicious

A cited study found top grades rose at a U.S. university after ChatGPT’s arrival, especially in courses with more take-home work.

In Spain, surveys show widespread use of AI to draft reports and final degree projects, while teachers lack reliable tools to detect it.

The result is grade inflation: scores may no longer reflect real learning or student ability.

Universities and employers may need new evaluation methods to identify talent and measure skills more accurately.
