2+privacy: For administrative AI use, UMBC's DoIT guidance says that unless a user is using a tool from the GenAI Tools page, only public data may be used with a generative AI service and use of UMBC proprietary data is forbidden.
3+Evidence (en-US, f906c55663f9): Safeguard data in our use of AI. Please remember, unless you are using a tool from the GenAI Tools web page, you may only use public data with a generative AI service. Using any UMBC proprietary data is forbidden.
4+academic_integrity: UMBC's Academic and Instructional AI page says UMBC does not license any AI detection tools at this time and describes reliability concerns with AI-detection tools.
5+Evidence (en-US, 96c67314bb5c): There are a number of AI detection tools available, some built on older APIs for ChatGPT and therefore they are not accurate just on this factor alone. AI, by its nature, is constantly learning and improving itself and it may never be possible to truly detect whether text is AI-generated. Note: UMBC does not license any AI detection tools at this time.
6+privacy: UMBC's DoIT GenAI Tools guidance says UMBC content that is not public should not be used with a GenAI service unless UMBC has verified that the service is safe to use, and says UMBC has several tools verified as safe for Level 1 and FERPA data.
7+Evidence (en-US, 4fbda9b09ee6): Unless this information is considered public material, something you would publish on a website for the Internet to see, you should not use content from UMBC on any GenAI service unless you know that UMBC has verified it is safe to use. Luckily, UMBC has access to several GenAI tools that have been verified as safe to use on UMBC Level 1 & FERPA data, which is data intended to be kept internal to UMBC.
8+teaching: UMBC's Academic and Instructional AI guidance advises instructors to set clear expectations for generative AI use, including citation or reference expectations if AI is permitted, and says students who use AI should have prompts available to explain their process.
9+Evidence (en-US, 96c67314bb5c): Set clear expectations for using generative AI tools including how to cite or reference appropriately, if permitted (Mollick & Mollick, 2023).
