Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: commercial_ai_public_information_only

Evidence originale

Evidence 1
You may use other tools for non-sensitive, public information only. Many commercial AI tools have privacy statements that allow them to collect and store your data, and in many cases, they may use your input to train future models.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: academic_misconduct_cheating_plagiarism_definitions

Evidence originale

Evidence 1
Cheating includes using unauthorized sources of information and providing or receiving unauthorized assistance on any form of academic work or engaging in any behavior specifically prohibited by the instructor in the course syllabus or class presentation. Plagiarism includes the copying of language, structure, images, ideas, or thoughts of another, and representing them as one's own without proper acknowledgment.

Security Review

For CSU System internal, confidential, and restricted data classifications, the AI Governance Guidelines say users should verify data classification, follow applicable policies, and use CSU-approved tools; restricted data also requires additional approval for AI use.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence89%

Normalized value: classified_data_ai_use_requires_approved_tools

Evidence originale

Evidence 1
Level 2 (Internal): Verify data classification before use, adhere to approved CSU data and AI policies, use only CSU-approved tools... Level 4 (Restricted): Verify data classification before use... use only CSU-approved tools with the highest level of contractual data protection guarantees; requires additional approval for any AI use.

Teaching

CSU TILT guidance says AI syllabus statements should remain consistent with university and department policy on assessing student work and provide students clarity about instructor expectations.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence83%

Normalized value: ai_syllabus_statement_clarity_guidance

Evidence originale

Evidence 1
However, it is important that they remain consistent with university and department policy on assessing student work. Finally, the most important part of including a statement is that it provides clarity to your students about your expectations.

Academic Integrity

An official CSU MTI teaching page states that work submitted for credit that was created by AI engines can be addressed under multiple areas of the Academic Misconduct section of the Student Conduct Code.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence78%

Normalized value: mti_ai_created_work_conduct_code_guidance

Evidence originale

Evidence 1
Is work (essays, responses, code, images) created by an artificial intelligence engine still covered by our Student Conduct Code's language? Yes. Definitively. The Student Conduct Code was written to address behavior, not technologies. In addition, work submitted for credit that was created by AI-engines can be addressed using multiple areas of the Academic Misconduct section of the Student Conduct Code.
