From OSU School of Business:

For this course, students are not permitted to use AI applications such as ChatGPT, Bard, or Bing for any purpose. Grammar and spellchecking tools such as those integrated into MS Word may be used.

From Temple University:

The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) are not permitted in this class; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be considered a violation of Temple University’s Academic Honesty policy and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own. The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in [insert the penalty here].

From Lauren Kirby (Psychology), University of Texas at Tyler :

Dr. Kirby’s AI Policy For this course, AI is not permitted at all: I expect all work students submit for this course to be their own. I have carefully designed all assignments and class activities to support your learning. Doing your own work, without human or artificial intelligence assistance, is best for your efforts in mastering course learning objectives. For this course, I expressly forbid using ChatGPT or any other Large Language Model (LLM) or image generation tools for any stages of the work process, including brainstorming. Deviations from these guidelines will be considered a violation of UT Tyler’s Honor Code and academic honesty values. Acceptable “AI” programs include only the spelling and grammar checking features in the Microsoft Office products. This means you are also not allowed to use Grammarly. Although many courses are beginning to embrace generative AI, I have decided not to allow it in my courses at this time for the following reasons: LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT) do not know, remember, or reason: they are “fancy autocorrect.” They predict which words tend to be near other words. AI is circular: its training data are being corrupted by AI products themselves. AI usage has a large environmental impact. AI usage involves hidden human costs. AI image generation steals from artists. AI image generation software has been trained on disturbing criminal material, including child sex abuse material.

From Andrea Kirkwood (Biological Science) at Ontario Tech University:

Course Policy on Artificial Intelligence Platforms
A large component of the assessments in this course requires critical thinking and synthesis of ideas in writing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms such as ChatGPT could easily be used as a “student proxy” for this work. The danger in letting an AI platform do the synthesis and writing is that the student will not develop these important skills as part of the course learning objectives. Additionally, AI platforms such as ChatGPT are notorious for making things up, and it is difficult to ascertain if the information is correct or not. Therefore, the course policy is for students not to use AI platforms at all in this course. It is critical for students to develop core research and writing skills first before adding AI and other technological tools to their research toolbox. For additional details on the misuse of AI assistive technology, please go to the Academic Integrity section of the course syllabus.

My expectation is that the work you submit in class is authored by you. We will be developing skills that are important to practice on your own. Furthermore, since these skills are interdependent and build upon each other, using generative AI can get in the way of understanding these skills step by step, which will ultimately prevent you from being able to succeed in this course.

However, while I would prefer you not use these tools to complete the written assignments for this course, AI tools can be helpful resources for thinking, and I encourage students to use them to think through questions throughout the course. Students should use AI tools to augment their understanding and generate ideas, while ensuring that the final work reflects their own analysis, synthesis, and originality.

From OSU School of Business:

Minor Uses Permitted: For this course, YOU must be the author of all coursework. You may use AI in some minor or non-substantive ways. For example, unless otherwise specified in the assignment, you may use AI to [FACULTY ADD EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE. FOR EXAMPLE: generate ideas, polish or edit text you have drafted, create an outline of an essay, modify or design presentation slides, review content, quiz yourself, or for other studying purposes].

Unless otherwise specified, you may not use AI to: [FACULTY ADD EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. FOR EXAMPLE: for any purpose while taking a quiz or test; generate content that is directly used in an assignment (such as code, text, images, or other media); solve problems from assignments; write a first draft of a paper or essay; write all or part of a discussion post; analyze data.] Always review individual assignments for specific instructions. [OPTIONAL: If you are using language generated by an AI app, you must properly attribute that use by putting that language in quotation marks and adding a citation just like you would when you copy language from human authors.]

From OSU School of Business:

AI Integration By Assignment: In this course, students are [permitted or required] to integrate AI into some of the substantive work of the course. Review individual assignments to determine permissible uses. Unless otherwise noted, you should be able to demonstrate how you contributed to an assignment. [FACULTY ADD SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR AI USE. FOR EXAMPLE: You are required to keep drafts of assignments and generative AI logs that demonstrate how you used AI and what portion of an assignment’s content was generated by AI.]

From Temple University

Acceptable and Unacceptable Use of AI
[This syllabus statement is useful when you are allowing the use of AI tools for certain purposes, but not for others. Adjust this statement to reflect your particular parameters of acceptable use. The following is an example.]
The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted in this course for the following activities:

• Brainstorming and refining your ideas;
• Fine tuning your research questions;
• Finding information on your topic;
• Drafting an outline to organize your thoughts; and
• Checking grammar and style.

The use of generative AI tools is not permitted in this course for the following activities:

• Impersonating you in classroom contexts, such as by using the tool to compose discussion board prompts assigned to you or content that you put into a Zoom chat.
• Completing group work that your group has assigned to you, unless it is mutually agreed upon that you may utilize the tool.
• Writing a draft of a writing assignment.
• Writing entire sentences, paragraphs or papers to complete class assignments.

From Lauren Kirby (Psychology), University of Texas at Tyler :

UT Tyler is committed to exploring and using artificial intelligence (AI) tools as appropriate for the discipline and task undertaken. We encourage discussing AI tools’ ethical, societal, philosophical, and disciplinary implications. All uses of AI should be acknowledged as this aligns with our commitment to honor and integrity, as noted in UT Tyler’s Honor Code. Faculty and students must not use protected information, data, or copyrighted materials when using any AI tool. Additionally, users should be aware that AI tools rely on predictive models to generate content that may appear correct but is sometimes shown to be incomplete, inaccurate, taken without attribution from other sources, and/or biased. Consequently, an AI tool should not be considered a substitute for traditional approaches to research. You are ultimately responsible for the quality and content of the information you submit. Misusing AI tools that violate the guidelines specified for this course (see below) is considered a breach of academic integrity. The student will be subject to disciplinary actions as outlined in UT Tyler’s Academic Integrity Policy.

From Sarah Elizabeth Wellard from DePaul University

In this course, you are permitted to use generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, Anthropic Claude, DALL-E, etc.), for the following activities ONLY:

•  
• Brainstorming ideas
• Fine tuning your research questions
• Drafting outlines
• Checking grammar

If you use generative AI in any of the above ways, you must:

1. describe the tools you used, and how you used them at the end of your discussion post or essay according to class guidelines (found in the ‘Supplemental Materials’ folder on the course D2L page) and,
2. document and credit the AI tool. For example, generated using ChatGPT should include a citation according to APA generative AI citation guidelines. Material generated using other AI tools should follow a similar citation convention.

Bear a few things in mind, however: if you didn’t write it, it’s not your work. The information derived from these tools is based on previously published materials. Therefore, presenting AI-generated output as your original work and/or without proper citation is considered plagiarism and constitutes a violation of DePaul’s Academic Integrity Policy. Some of the software DePaul uses to check for plagiarism/originality now includes features to detect AI-generated text, so please just don’t do it. Beyond that, they are often factually inaccurate. Natural language processing models work by predicting what text is most likely to follow previous text based on the information it has ingested. Therefore, it can often return incorrect or false information. For example, it may return non-existent academic references.

Additional information and guidelines for the use of AI can be found in the ‘Supplemental Materials’ folder under ‘Content’ on the D2L page. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about this policy.

If you’re unsure if a specific tool makes use of AI, or if a specific tool is permitted for use on assignments in this course, please contact me. Attempting to pass off AI-generated work as your own, and/or un-cited use of AI will be considered a violation of academic honesty and addressed through appropriate channels.

From OSU School of Business:

Integration of AI in Learning Outcomes: Students will be required to use AI in some course tasks and assignments and may be required to track their use of AI on course assignments.

From Temple University:

You are welcome/expected to use generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) in this class as doing so aligns with the course learning goal [insert the course learning goal use of AI aligns with]. You are responsible for the information you submit based on an AI query (for instance, that it does not violate intellectual property laws, or contain misinformation or unethical content). Your use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited in order to stay within university policies on academic honesty. For example, [Insert citation style for your discipline.]

Logan Rath (Information Science), from SUNY Brockport:

During this course, you may use generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Bard, Copilot) to assist with assignments providing that you also do the following:

1. Include a disclaimer statement at the start of your submission that states which AI tool was used, and for what purpose. Examples: Grammarly was used to assist with proofreading. ChatGPT was used to develop an outline for this section.
2. Validate the output and reflect on why this non-peer reviewed source is a useful addition to your assignment. Submit the AI Use Statement and Reflection (available on Brightspace) along with your assignment. Attach or paste in the contents the file to your discussion board post or hyperlink it in your disclaimer statement.

Failure to acknowledge the use of AI on course assignments will result in a required 1-on-1 meeting where we will discuss the topic and I will assign you a grade based on your ability to explain (not recite) your submission. If you cannot appropriately demonstrate your understanding of the course material, you will receive a Violation of Academic Integrity Report (VAIR) submission, a zero on the assignment and required resubmission for no credit to proceed in the course.

AI Use Statement & Reflection
Fill out this form and attach it to your assignment uploads. If this is a discussion board post, you may copy and paste the contents to the end of your posting. You will not be graded on the contents of this document, but rather this document will be used to demonstrate that you used AI with academic integrity. If you have questions about what it means to use AI with academic integrity, please contact Dr. Rath at lrath@albany.edu.
