While tools like ChatGPT, QuillBot, and Grammarly support language learning, their misuse has led to increased academic dishonesty. This study investigates how AI contributes to such dishonesty and explores institutional strategies to address it. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through desk research, the study reviews literature from academic sources. Findings show that dishonesty occurs both intentionally and unintentionally, often due to low AI literacy and lack of ethical guidelines. Students tend to overuse AI for paraphrasing, grammar checks, or full-text creation, reducing critical thinking and engagement. In response, institutions are advised to implement AI policies, promote AI literacy, apply process-based assessment, and train lecturers in ethical AI use. These measures aim to uphold academic integrity and ensure AI enhances learning.</em></p> Rizki Alysa Lukman Syahbana Copyright (c) 2025 Rizki Alysa, Lukman Syahbana https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-10-19 2025-10-19 7 2 1 13 10.57094/relation.v7i2.2923 https://jurnal.uniraya.ac.id/index.php/Relation/article/view/3853 <p>The word Ya’ahowu is a distinctive greeting used by the people of Nias, carrying deep meaning and strong cultural values. This study aims to explore the meaning, function, and social significance of Ya’ahowu as a symbol of love and cultural identity within the Nias community. The research employs a literature review method, analyzing various sources such as journals, books, and scholarly articles related to the language and culture of Nias. The findings reveal that Ya’ahowu is not merely a simple salutation but embodies a prayer and well-wishes for the person being greeted. Its primary functions extend beyond social interaction, encompassing cultural and emotional roles that strengthen interpersonal relationships and foster social solidarity. Moreover, Ya’ahowu reflects core values such as affection, respect, and a strong spirit of brotherhood. In today’s modern context, this greeting remains relevant and holds potential as a symbol of cultural diplomacy and a tool for preserving the local language. In conclusion, Ya’ahowu is an important intangible cultural heritage that must be preserved. It serves not only as a means of communication but also as a representation of the unique values of love and peace inherent to the Nias people.</p> Darmawan Harefa Copyright (c) 2025 Darmawan Harefa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-10-19 2025-10-19 7 2 14 27 10.57094/relation.v7i2.3853
