Penn requires all community members (educators, staff, researchers, and students) to be transparent about the use of AI and to disclose when a work product was created wholly or partially using an AI tool.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Users of AI at Penn are accountable for AI-generated content and should validate its accuracy with trusted first-party sources, being wary of misinformation or hallucinations.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn users should not input moderate or high-risk Penn data (per the Penn Data Risk Classification) or intellectual property into AI tools without careful consideration of data use policies, a protective contract, and review by Penn's Privacy Office and Office of Information Security.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

other

It is not permissible under HIPAA or Penn Medicine policy to share patient or research participant information with open or public AI tools and services such as ChatGPT; individual patient data and data sets (even if deidentified) may not be exposed to such tools absent institutional approval.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn researchers should obtain IRB approvals prior to exposing research participant data to AI tools and should exercise caution when research involves high-risk data including PII and health information.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn's Office of Audit, Compliance & Privacy mandates that users of publicly available (unlicensed) AI tools must not enter any information that could identify a student, including names, ID numbers, email addresses, or detailed descriptions of student work or engagement that could be identifiable to others.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn mandates that student work (papers, projects) must not be entered into unlicensed AI tools without the student's permission, even if anonymized, because this work is part of the student's confidential academic record.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Instructors must not require students to enter their own work into unlicensed AI tools or use such tools in assignments; unlicensed tools may be used optionally by students at the instructor's discretion, but Penn-licensed tools should be used for mandatory coursework components.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Individual instructors at Penn determine their own policies related to acceptable student use of generative AI in coursework.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn community members should avoid uploading confidential or proprietary information to AI platforms prior to seeking patent or copyright protection, as doing so could jeopardize intellectual property rights.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

University business processes using AI should have oversight, review, and verification of AI outputs in place to ensure reliability, consistency, and accuracy.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn educators should provide students with clear guidelines on the use of AI within coursework and should disclose to students when course materials have been created with AI or when AI detection software will be used.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

In the absence of other guidance, Penn students should treat the use of AI as they would treat assistance from another person — if it is unacceptable to have another person substantially complete a task like writing an essay, it is also unacceptable to have AI complete the task.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

Penn researchers should consult with department leadership and their discipline's publishing standards to determine how AI use should be accounted for with regard to authorship in publications.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%Evidence1Languagesen

other

At Wharton Academy, AI-generated work should be cited like any other reference material, including how and where students used AI-generated information; using AI-generated work without crediting the source is considered plagiarism.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence85%Evidence1Languagesen

other
