MSU Ethics Institute student guidance tells students to follow instructor or syllabus policies before using AI on assignments, disclose AI use according to class expectations, and check with instructors when in doubt.
MSU guidelines say integration of generative AI into research outputs, manuscripts, artistic endeavors, and grant applications must be disclosed according to relevant guidance or policies, and that intentional and substantial AI uses should be disclosed when no stated guidance exists.
MSU IT says requests to purchase non-enterprise generative AI tools at MSU require completion and approval of an IT Readiness form.
MSU IT says MSU's enterprise-licensed AI tools offer enhanced security and enterprise-level data protection aligned with institutional data policies that are not available in free or personal editions.
MSU IT standards say only AI platforms formally evaluated and recommended by MSU IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance may be used with institutional data, and no AI tool should be assumed safe for confidential or regulated data unless explicitly approved.
MSU guidelines say third-party generative AI tools, especially those operated outside the United States, may be used only with non-sensitive public information unless MSU IT Information Security gives prior approval.
MSU guidelines generally discourage generative AI detection tools and say detection outputs should be treated as potential indicators rather than conclusive evidence or the sole basis for academic or grading decisions.
MSU expects instructors to include course-specific generative AI guidance in every syllabus, including whether AI use is permitted, the contexts in which it may be used, and expected acknowledgment or citation practices.
MSU guidelines say students may use generative AI tools for coursework or research activities only when the instructor or research advisor explicitly permits that use.
Michigan State University's 2025 Guidelines for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence serve as MSU's official framework for ethical, responsible, and equitable generative AI use and supersede previously issued AI guidance.
