Emory University awarded two students $10,000 for developing an AI study tool called Eightball after they won a grand prize at an entrepreneurship competition. However, the university's Honor Council later suspended the students, accusing them of creating a tool that could potentially be used for cheating. Despite the university's initial support and funding, the Honor Council deemed the creation of the tool as insufficiently honorable. The tool was never used to cheat. One of the students is now suing the university over the suspension, as reported by 404 Media.
