August 23, 2026

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence in education presents new challenges for academic institutions attempting to distinguish between legitimate AI-assisted learning and academic dishonesty. The absence of clear institutional policies, untrustworthy AI detection mechanisms, and unclear requirements for AI disclosures leave room for ambiguity. The proposed policy brief outlines steps that educational institutions can undertake in order to create clear and coherent rules for the use of AI in academic work, mandate disclosures when AI makes substantial contributions to student work, avoid relying only on automatic AI detection software, and have human-based review and appeal processes in case of any violations.

The Political and Economic Impacts of Artificial Intelligence-Powered Financial Fraud Detection on Remittances in the Global South

By

Sofia R. Rodriguez

On

October 5, 2025

This policy brief analyzes how AI-powered fraud detection systems in financial services disproportionately harm international remittances to the Global South, where the flows are vital for household economies and national stability. Systematic algorithmic bias flags legitimate transfers as fraudulent, leading to account lockouts, blocked transactions, and driving migrants toward insecure underground systems like hawala. The fragmentation of regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions enables technological discrimination, eroding both individual livelihoods and the political leverage of remittance-dependent states such as El Salvador. The brief calls for urgent multilateral intervention, including bias elimination requirements, liability frameworks, and recognition of remittance access as a protected human right under international law.
