11+Evidence (en, 6ddec96f85b8): When using AI in research, whether as a supporting investigative tool or a technology with which human subjects directly interact, researchers must clearly explain in consent forms how AI will be used, what kinds of data it will access, and explicitly outline any associated risks and limitations.
12+ai_tool_treatment: Rutgers IT's central AI page lists Microsoft Copilot Chat, NotebookLM, and Google Gemini as centrally funded AI tools available to Rutgers students, faculty, and staff at no additional cost, while Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Edu, and Google AI Pro are listed as subscription-required tools.

In addition, have students turn in any prompts and outputs.
18+teaching: Rutgers teaching guidance says GenAI detectors should be treated with caution and cites research indicating they cannot currently be recommended for determining academic-integrity violations because of accuracy limits and false-accusation risk.
19+Evidence (en, 439718698e45): The varying performances of GenAI tools and detectors indicate they cannot currently be recommended for determining academic integrity violations due to accuracy limitations and the potential for false accusation which undermines inclusive and fair assessment practices.
