11 # University of Kentucky AI policy record
2+privacy: UK ADVANCE research guidance says data privacy review is needed before Protected Data is entered into a generative AI tool; it also says not to put PHI into such tools unless UKHC InfoSec has confirmed HIPAA compliance and PHI support, and not to place other non-public or proprietary research data into open-source AI without UK ITS GRC approval.
3+Evidence (en, 16cd4b625b4d): Data privacy review is needed before any Protected Data (AR 10.7) is entered into a generative AI tool. Unless the UKHC InfoSec Data Sharing Committee has confirmed the AI tool is HIPAA compliant and supports PHI input, do not put research data containing PHI into a generative AI tool or other software.
4+research: UK ADVANCE research guidance says generative AI tools may enhance research when used responsibly, generated content should be verified or validated, generative AI cannot be designated as an author, and researchers remain responsible for content and accuracy.
5+Evidence (en, 16cd4b625b4d): When using a generative AI tool, it is best practice to verify or validate all generated content using additional factors and reliable resources. Generative AI cannot be designated authorship as it cannot be held accountable.
6+teaching: UK ADVANCE provides instructional generative AI guidance that includes creating and clearly communicating course policies, responding to misuse, and designing learning experiences aligned with those policies.
7+Evidence (en, 7c2e4686fb0d): UK ADVANCE provides the following guidance and recommendations: Understanding Capabilities and Risks; Developing Course Policies: Creating and clearly communicating course policies regarding the use of generative AI; Responding to Misuse; Designing Aligned Learning Experiences.
8+ai_tool_treatment: University of Kentucky CELT guidance frames student generative AI use as a course-level instructor decision and recommends communicating allowed uses, tool restrictions, citation or acknowledgement expectations, and alternatives where privacy concerns exist.
9+Evidence (en, 30818b9420bf): It is up to the instructor to decide whether student use of generative AI (GenAI) is appropriate for their courses and to what extent. Instructors might also consider an assignment-by-assignment approach to identifying when generative AI is allowed.
