Graduate Admissions in the AI Era

Alex Guerrero (Rutgers) has raised questions about the use of AI in graduate admissions, specifically regarding writing samples and personal statements, and whether philosophy departments should consider interviews as a check on AI assistance. The post on Daily Nous invites discussion on whether departments have policies or practices addressing AI use in admissions materials.

Are applicants to your graduate program using AI to create their admissions materials? Do you know? How? And what, if anything, should your department do about it? The topic is suggested to me by Alex Guerrero Rutgers , who, commenting on social media, writes: “What are people doing about AI and grad admissions? Writing samples, personal statements. Other fields use interviews; are any philosophy departments considering those as a check on AI assistance?” Does your department or college or university have a policy or set of practices about this? Do you have thoughts about what such policies or practices should be? Discussion welcome.
