🏫 1. Universities Are No Longer Banning AI—They're Regulating It
As generative AI becomes widespread in high schools, universities are shifting their response:
- University of Sydney now uses a “two-lane” policy: AI is allowed in certain coursework with citation, but banned in exams.
- Trinity College Dublin permits students to use AI-generated content in essays if they cite the source and explain its use.
- Across the U.S., over 60% of universities now provide syllabi and teaching guidelines that support responsible AI use.
These changes mirror the IB’s approach: transparency and academic integrity are more important than total restriction.
🧾 2. Citing AI Tools Is Becoming the New Normal
Universities emphasize that AI-generated content must be clearly cited. Submitting AI work as your own is considered academic misconduct.
RevisionDojo's blog Can IB Detect ChatGPT? breaks down exactly how AI use is handled under IB policies—and why it’s important to treat AI like any external source.
For instance, in the IB Extended Essay or university-level research, if you use AI for structure, summaries, or initial ideas, you must credit it.
🎓 3. RevisionDojo’s Jojo AI Helps You Learn—Not Cheat
Universities value AI when it's used as a study aid, not a shortcut.

- IB flashcards and topic quizzes
- IA feedback preparation

📚 4. AI in College Admissions: What Applicants Should Know
Admissions officers are becoming more aware of AI use in student applications:
- Some universities now flag overly polished writing in personal statements and conduct follow-ups.
- Schools like Harvard, Stanford, and UCL emphasize that student voice must shine through, even if AI helped with brainstorming.
The IB's focus on academic integrity and authentic reflection trains students to meet these same expectations.
