The Impact of Al-Generated Text on the Internet, by researchers from Imperial College London, the Internet Archive and Stanford University, found that by mid-2025, roughly 35 per cent of newly published websites were classified as Al-generated or Al-assisted, up from zero before ChatG-P’T’s launch in late 2022. PJ Narayanan, the former Director of the International Institute of Information Technology-Hyderabad (IIIT-H), felt that the dominance of AI-generated content on the Internet is a major concern, and these percent-ages will steadily rise as Al tools improve and gain wider adoption. “While humans can only cre-ate content at a fixed, limited pace, individuals and com-panies utilising powerful AI systems can generate data at an exceptionally high rate, practically without limits,” he said. Citing the Pew study, he said, “One direct con-sequence will be on future Al systems, as their training data will contain far more AI-generated material, poten-tially degrading their quality over time. More subtly, people interacting with online content may uncon-sciously alter their writing styles to mimic AI,” he said.

Indian universities are redesigning assessments to evaluate student reasoning and accountability. Traditional take-home assignments are being replaced by vivas and in-person examinations. Some institutions integrate AI, grading students on how they direct and verify machine outputs. In Section 3 of AI Campus File, we discovered AI use is becoming a key aspect of academic integrity. The focus is now on demonstrating ownership of thinking rather than just the final answer. Some institutions are tightening the assessment environment through vivas, controlled examinations and AI restrictions. At IIIT Hyderabad, the institution is taking a policy-development route. A faculty committee is working on a responsible-AI policy, with the proposed distinction centred on AI-assisted components versus intellectual responsibility for integration, architecture, validation and explanation. The policy was still awaiting broader faculty and Academic Council deliberation in the supplied response.

IIIT Hyderabad’s Division of Flexible Learning (DFL) announced that applications are open for Cohort 3 of its 12-week certificate program, “Agentic AI: From Concepts to Practice”. This executive education program is suitable both for early careers as well as experienced working professionals and will transform them from being AI users to AI engineers. It will teach them how to design, build, deploy and operate production-ready agentic AI systems. This intensive 12-week programme, requiring approximately 12 hours of learning per week, is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Agentic AI systems. The programme combines live online interactive classes, recorded lectures, hands-on labs and practical projects, culminating in a planned campus immersion at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad towards the end of the programme.
