Technical advancements in the accessibility of Artificial Intelligence tools have created confusion about what is and is not allowed to be aligned with Academic Integrity. To remove this confusion, my expectation is as follows:
[The selection will be based on the individual instructor preference. Keep the example of choice and delete the other two.]
Example of the Most Restrictive Language
Aligned with my commitment to academic integrity and my teaching and assessment style, the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including but not limited to ChatGPT, DALL-E, and similar platforms, is strictly prohibited in this course. Using AI for assignments constitutes academic dishonesty, equitable to cheating and plagiarism, and will be met with sanctions consistent with any other Academic Integrity violation.
Example of Moderately Restrictive Language
Aligned with my commitment to academic integrity and the ethical use of technology, this course allows AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and similar platforms for specific tasks such as brainstorming, idea refinement, and grammar checks. Using AI to write drafts, complete assignments or take quizzes or exams is not permitted, and any use of AI must be cited, including the tool used, access date, and query. It is the expectation that in all uses of AI, students critically evaluate the information for accuracy and bias while respecting privacy and copyright laws.
The use of AI outside the allowed criteria constitutes academic dishonesty, is equitable to cheating and plagiarism, and will be met with sanctions consistent with any other academic integrity violation.
Example of Least Restrictive Language
Aligned with my commitment to academic integrity, creativity, and ethical use of technology, AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and similar platforms to enhance learning are encouraged as a supplementary resource use and not a replacement for personal insight or analysis. Any use of AI must be cited, including the tool used, access date, and query. I expect that in all uses of AI, students critically evaluate the information for accuracy and bias while respecting privacy and copyright laws.
Misuse of AI, such as failing to cite or using AI to misrepresent your work, constitutes academic dishonesty, equitable to cheating and plagiarism, and will be met with sanctions consistent with any other Academic Integrity violation.
