3. Use of GenAI by Students  Students should adhere to instructions from faculty about GenAI.  If students use GenAI without the explicit permission of faculty, it will be considered the same as getting assistance from someone else, and thus, is considered cheating/plagiarism  Please contact your instructor if you are unsure before using GenAI. Keep in mind, there are tools that help detect whether an assignment was done using GenAI When there is permission from faculty to use GenAI, faculty may require students to provide the following information: - GenAI tools used (for example: ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, ... etc.) - Part of the assignment that was generated/assisted by GenAI - Prompt used for each part If your instructor allows you to use GenAI, here is a sample list of acceptable and unacceptable uses: Acceptable Use: o Use GenAI for researching information o Use GenAI for help with grammar/spelling/clarity/readability o Summarizing information o Getting ideas for research projects and to brainstorm o Creating images related to your assignments o Use GenAI to help you understand concepts o Use of GenAI to help tweak/strengthen your ideas Unacceptable Use: o Copying GenAI text and using it as your own work (even if paraphrased) o Solving problems/questions using GenAI o Using GenAI to generate solutions for programming assignments, exams, or projects

2. General Concerns About GenAI  Potential for Errors (AI Hallucinations): One major concern with AI is its dependence on data. Just like any student learning from flawed notes, AI trained on inaccurate/biased/insufficient data can produce erroneous results. Therefore, it is essential to critically evaluate GenAI results, all AI outputs should be reviewed and confirmed.  Copyright Infringement: Another potential problem lies in AI's content creation capabilities. GenAI can generate text, music, and even art based on the data it has been trained on. While this opens exciting possibilities, it also raises concerns about copyright and intellectual property. If GenAI outputs contain elements or styles copied directly from existing works, it could infringe on the rights of the original creators. To avoid legal pitfalls, it's essential to use AI tools responsibly and be mindful of the source material they utilize.  Privacy Risks: GenAI does introduce a concern of privacy in the digital age. Many GenAI systems, especially those offering personalized services, require access to vast amounts of user data. This raises the risk of sensitive information being exposed if not adequately protected. Therefore, it is crucial to read the privacy policies of any GenAI system before interacting with it and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

4. Use of GenAI by Faculty Teaching Faculty are free to set their own policies regarding GenAI in the classroom. Faculty should include a section in their syllabus that is concerned with the use of AI. When allowing students to use GenAI, a faculty may ask for the following information: - AI tools used (for example: ChatGPT, Bard, Copilot, ... etc.) - Part of the assignment that was generated by AI - Prompt used for each part Faculty are free to use GenAI in their classes. Also, faculty can use GenAI to create homework/ideas/teaching concepts/examples/exams. When it comes to grading project/homework/exams, faculty should always verify the results, since GenAI might not be accurate or fair. For Research Faculty have the right to use GenAI to support their research. There are many AI tools available for research, and faculty may use these tools to support their research. Faculty should be careful in how to use GenAI in research, as they should keep in mind that many journals have AI detection features, which might invalidate their research efforts. Here is a list of guidelines related to using GenAI in research:  GenAI tools can be used to assist in research. But they are assistive tools and do not replace human intellectual and mental effort  It is important not to over-rely on the information provided by GenAI tools without reviewing it  It is important to indicate the use of GenAI tools when used in research  GenAI tools cannot be relied on as a source or reference  GenAI tools cannot be relied on when it comes to providing references or sources without verification  Researchers should not directly copy from GenAI, but it is possible to benefit from the idea and develop it  It is necessary to encourage the use of GenAI tools in a manner that respects ethical rules and scientific honesty
