Too many university students can use AI to complete assessments without staff finding out, the higher education regulator in England has said.

The Office for Students (OfS) said "a significant proportion" of assessments are unsupervised and many can be completed to a high standard with AI, sometimes in minutes.

It said this posed a "significant risk" to their credibility, and closed-book and practical exams were the most effective forms of assessments.
