A top Dartmouth College administrator resigned after a faculty committee found he used artificial intelligence to help write materials, including a Washington Post guest column about AI cheating.

The announcement Wednesday of Provost Santiago Schnell's departure from the Ivy League university comes as colleges across the country grapple with how to transform teaching as more assignments can be completed with AI tools.

Dartmouth touts itself as the birthplace of AI, saying the field got its start at the school in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1956 when a small group of scientists gathered for a summer research project on the topic.
