11 # University of California, San Diego (UCSD) AI policy record
2+academic_integrity: UC San Diego's Academic Integrity Policy says students may not let academic work or academic credit be completed for them by another human or by machine/artificial intelligence, and may not use unauthorized aids including artificial intelligence in coursework or assessments.
3+Evidence (en, 72da36732b57): No student shall allow any academic work or academic credit to be completed or obtained, in part or in whole, for themselves by another (human or machine/artificial intelligence). No student shall employ aids (including artificial intelligence) in undertaking course work or in completing any assessments that are not authorized by the instructor.
4+academic_integrity: UC San Diego Academic Integrity Office student guidance says that if an instructor has not said a student can use GenAI for a class or assessment, the student cannot use it; silence does not equal permission.
5+Evidence (en, 449c8d28a33d): To summarize: If your instructor did not say you could, then you can't. Silence does not equal permission.
6+academic_integrity: UC San Diego Academic Integrity Office guidance says students authorized to use a GenAI tool should use it only in the way authorized for that assignment, should not assume authorization extends to other assignments or courses, and are advised to save history and acknowledge use to the professor.
7+Evidence (en, 449c8d28a33d): Yes, you're good to use the GenAI tool in the way that instructor authorized for that particular assignment. Don't assume you can use it in ways not authorized or for other assignments or courses. Also, if you use it, save your history so you can share it and acknowledge your use to the professor.
8+ai_tool_treatment: UC San Diego Blink identifies TritonGPT as the university's preferred generative AI platform and says it is securely hosted at the San Diego Supercomputer Center so UC San Diego maintains full control over its data.
9+Evidence (en, 1d8919e7f999): TritonGPT, our preferred Generative AI platform, is securely hosted at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. By leveraging a combination of open-source large language models (LLMs) and secure on-premise hosting, TritonGPT ensures that UC San Diego maintains full control over our data.
10+security_review: UC San Diego Blink says the university evaluates and supports AI services integrated into supported platforms using criteria that reflect University of California data protection and security policies, including Electronic Information Security, Electronic Communication, Export Control, and FERPA standards.
11+Evidence (en, 1d8919e7f999): Alongside TritonGPT, we are actively evaluating and supporting AI services integrated into our supported platforms. Our evaluation criteria reflect the University of California's comprehensive data protection and security policies. These policies encompass Electronic Information Security, Electronic Communication, Export Control, and FERPA standards.
12+teaching: UC San Diego's Academic Integrity Office says its Critical AI Literacy Canvas Module is a resource to support instructors in introducing students to AI competencies and engaging students in ethical and responsible GenAI use.
13+Evidence (en, 46f42673d809): The module aims to increase in students the four competencies of AI Literacy - Recognition, Comprehension, Critical thinking, Proficiency - through key questions that students ask about GenAI: What is Artificial Intelligence, How Does It Work, How Do I Use it, and How Can I Use it Responsibly?
14+academic_integrity: UC San Diego Library's GenAI academic-integrity guide says students might be cheating if they use a tool that has been prohibited or one that is not explicitly allowed by the course instructor.
15+Evidence (en, 7702544ce2f9): Is the resource/tool allowed by the course instructor? If you use a tool/resource that has been prohibited OR if you use one that is not explicitly allowed, then you might be cheating.
16+research: A 2025 UC San Diego Senate-Administration Workgroup report proposed that responsible GenAI use in research be grounded in research integrity, human oversight, disciplinary norms, responsible innovation, and principles over prescriptions.
17+Evidence (en, af0994caa24a): We recommend that UC San Diego’s responsible approach to GenAI in research be grounded in five core guidelines that build on the eight UC Responsible AI Principles: Build from a foundation of research integrity; Ensure human oversight; Respect evolving disciplinary norms; Foster responsible innovation; Prioritize principles over prescriptions.
18+privacy: A 2025 UC San Diego Senate-Administration Workgroup report says researchers should understand UC San Diego data classification policies, including which protected health information, human subjects data, student work, intellectual property, and similar data may not be used with non-secure GenAI tools.
19+Evidence (en, af0994caa24a): Understand UC San Diego data classification policies, including which types of data (protected health information, human subjects data, student work, intellectual property, etc.) may not be used with non-secure GenAI tools.
