The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board convened on June 13, 2025, to discuss significant topics related to artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for academic integrity and student services. The meeting began with a focus on the agenda items, specifically addressing the integration of AI in educational settings.

The first item of discussion revolved around AI and academic integrity. Board members emphasized the importance of exploring how AI can support student services while maintaining academic standards. Tim, a board member, suggested framing the discussion around two separate agenda items: one focusing on AI's role in academic integrity and the other on its use as a support tool for students. This approach was agreed upon, with the potential for a third related topic to emerge during future discussions.

A notable point raised during the meeting was the concept of "student bots," which could potentially complete courses on behalf of students. This idea sparked curiosity among board members, with a show of hands indicating that many were unfamiliar with the concept prior to the meeting. The discussion highlighted the need for further exploration of how such technology could impact academic integrity.

Additionally, the board discussed the incorporation of wearable technology into the conversation about AI and academic integrity. Members noted the emergence of devices like AI-integrated glasses, which could pose new challenges and considerations for maintaining academic standards. The inclusion of wearable technology in future discussions was deemed essential to address these evolving concerns.

As the meeting progressed, the board moved on to review the meeting calendar and other administrative matters. Overall, the discussions underscored the board's commitment to navigating the complexities of AI in education, ensuring that both innovation and integrity are upheld in Texas higher education institutions. The next steps will involve further research and deliberation on the implications of AI and wearable technology in academic settings.
