This course is committed to academic integrity and the responsible use of AI technologies to enhance learning. Students are encouraged to use AI tools to supplement their learning experience and deepen their understanding of the subject matter, but they must not copy AI-generated content or rely solely on automated services. Students are expected to create their own work, demonstrating their understanding and insights, and they must properly attribute the sources or algorithms used when using AI technologies. Additionally, students must ensure that the use of AI tools aligns with the requirements of assignments or projects and that they apply their own judgment and critically analyze the AI-generated outcomes to contribute to their own learning and academic growth.

Any form of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and unauthorized collaboration facilitated by AI, is strictly prohibited. Students who violate the academic honesty policy may be subject to disciplinary action, such as academic penalties or further consequences.

Here are some tips for using AI tools ethically in this course:

• Use AI tools to supplement your learning, not to replace it.
• Create your own work, and don’t copy AI-generated content.
• Properly attribute the sources or algorithms used when using AI technologies.
• Ensure that the use of AI tools aligns with the requirements of assignments or projects.
• Apply your own judgment and critically analyze the AI-generated outcomes.

Example (in-text citations)

Given the prompt “What are large language models?” the text generated by ChatGPT described them as “artificial intelligence systems that have been trained on vast amounts of text data, with the goal of understanding natural language and generating human-like responses to text-based inputs” (OpenAI, 2023).

When provided with a follow up prompt of “What are examples of large language models?” ChatGPTidentified OpenAI’s GPT-3, NVIDIA’s Megatron, and Google’s LaMDA as some of the examples of large language models (OpenAI, 2023; see Appendix A for the full transcript).

There are a variety of AI programs available to assist writers. AI programs are not a replacement for human creativity, originality, and critical thinking. Writing is a craft that you must develop over time to develop your own individual voice as a writer. However, within limited circumstances, and with proper attribution, AI programs may be used as a tool. Be thoughtful about when this tool is useful, and do not use it unless it is appropriate for the circumstance.

You need to acknowledge using AI, so please include a brief paragraph at the end of any assignment that uses AI explaining what the AI was used for and what prompts were used. For example, “The author generated this text in part with GPT-3, OpenAI’s large-scale language-generation model. Upon generating draft language, the author reviewed, edited, and revised the language to their own liking and takes ultimate responsibility for the content of this publication.” Failure to cite the use of AI is academic misconduct. You will be responsible for any errors or omissions provided by the AI, so fact check information with another source if you are not sure of the answer.
