What happened
Princeton University just voted to scrap its honor code — a tradition going back to 1893 — because AI tools have made it so easy for students to cheat that professors can no longer reliably catch it. Starting this summer, all in-person exams will require a proctor watching over students, something Princeton has never required before.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
This is one of the most prestigious universities in the world, and it just admitted that AI has broken the system of academic trust it built over more than a century. If it's happening at Princeton, it's happening everywhere — schools, colleges, and workplaces are all quietly facing the same crisis of not being able to tell what work is real anymore.
Takeaway
AI didn't just change how we work — it just ended a 130-year tradition of trust at one of America's most elite universities.
