Using Generative AI Appropriately and Ethically
As AI becomes an integral tool in education and beyond, it’s important for all faculty, staff and students at ÌÇÐÄVLOG to use it responsibly. These guidelines outline how to engage with generative AI ethically and effectively while maintaining academic integrity.
- The use of AI must be documented. AI content without proper attribution or authorization is considered a form of plagiarism.
The use of AI in any stage of your work’s creation must be explicitly disclosed and thoroughly documented. Failure to disclose AI use may result in an honor violation. - AI should help you think, but not think for you.
AI should serve as a tool to assist and enhance your thought process rather than replacing it. - You are responsible for your final product.
AI is known to make mistakes. You are fully accountable for AI-generated content. Make sure you can attribute and source all facts so they can be verified. - Engage ethically with AI
Evaluate your AI-generated outputs and consider any potential biases, limitations and ethical implications. Respect privacy, confidentiality and intellectual property rights. - Confidential or personal data should never be entered in generative AI tools.
AI tools may expose data to third parties, lack confidentiality and be vulnerable to data breaches. - These guidelines are in effect unless your instructor gives you alternative guidelines.
It is your responsibility to know and follow your instructor’s guidelines for AI use on each assignment.
