The UC Berkeley Academic Senate recommends that all faculty include a clear statement on their syllabus about course expectations regarding the use of Google Gemini or any other generative AI tool for course-related work. In the absence of such a statement, students may be more likely to use these technologies inappropriately.

In the absence of such a statement, students may be more likely to use these technologies inappropriately.

The UC Berkeley Academic Senate provides three sample syllabus statement frameworks for faculty: 'Full AI' (GenAI required), 'Some AI' (limited permitted use with restrictions), and 'No AI' (all GenAI use prohibited). Faculty should modify these to fit their course requirements.

The UC Berkeley Academic Senate recommends that for assignments where GenAI is not permitted, instructors should adopt enforcement mechanisms such as in-person proctored exams, an additional oral exam component, or a written statement of academic integrity, since no validated GenAI detection tools exist.

UC Berkeley has AI risk assessment pre-screening questions that employees can use to gauge the level of risk involved for an AI use case where AI is integrated into a product, service, or feature at the university. Depending on the risk level determined, the CERC-AIR subcommittee may be engaged for a broader risk assessment.

UC Berkeley warns that AI use involving highly-consequential automated decision-making requires extreme caution and should not be employed without prior consultation with appropriate campus entities including the responsible unit head. Examples include legal analysis, recruitment/personnel decisions, replacing represented employees, facial recognition security tools, and grading or assessment of student work.
