Is the take-home essay dead as an assessment format now that AI authorship can't be reliably detected?

Who owns the "originality" of a thesis when AI co-generated the literature review, analysis, and drafting?

What shifts for learning with AI?

What's the point of a take-home essay now that neither writing nor detecting AI writing is reliable?

What happens to the mentorship relationship when the student's first-line question always goes to AI instead of the teacher?

Is the teacher's core job now managing AI tutors rather than delivering content?

What changes for libraries and librarians with AI?

Do trade certification exams still test the right thing when AI can help candidates pass the written portion without mastering the hands-on skill?
