AI-generated text found on over 1/3rd of new web pages

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.

Academic integrity in the ChatGPT era: When the answer is no longer the evidence

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.
