    Perceived Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Integrity in Higher Education in Sri Lanka: Perceptions of Teachers and Learners
    (Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-05-25) Wijayasiri, K. D. S.N
    This study investigates perceived impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on academic integrity in Sri Lankan higher education from the perspectives of both teachers and learners. Employing a mixedmethods explanatory sequential design, quantitative survey data from 350 participants across six universities were complemented by qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The study examined AI awareness, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, and academic integrity attitudes. Findings indicate that AI awareness and perceived risk positively predict academic integrity, while perceived usefulness exerts a negative influence when AI is viewed as a means to shortcut academic effort. Qualitative themes revealed concerns about plagiarism, originality, assessment credibility, and insufficient institutional support, alongside recognition of AI’s potential for enhancing learning efficiency and language support. The study calls for explicit institutional policies, ethical AI leadership, AI literacy integration, and assessment redesign in Sri Lankan higher education.

    Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Integrity in Higher Education, Sri Lanka
    (School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Wijayasiri, K. D.S.N
    The blistering pace of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in the college and university sector has, in effect, revolutionized the academic sector, offering high potential while simultaneously encompassing numerous obstacles regarding academic integrity. This study examines the various ways in which artificial intelligence has impacted academic integrity in higher education institutions in Sri Lanka. Investigating the ever-developing field of AI through the prism of professional literature, this research addresses the issue of how the use of AI tools, mainly large language models, such as ChatGPT, is reinventing the familiar pattern of assessments, establishing new patterns of academic dishonesty, and causing the emergence of new solutions to the problem of preservingacademic integrity. The results indicate that although current AI-based technologies provide significant value to personalized learning and educational improvement, they also present significant risks to academic integrity,which must be addressed promptly by educators, policymakers, and institutional officials. The following paper proposes an approach to addressing these issues by redesigning policies, course and examination evaluation, and incorporating ethical AI strategies tailored to the specific context of Sri Lankan higher education.
