At present, it's important for instructors to be explicit about whether artificial intelligence or tools like ChatGPT are allowed to be used to complete assignments, tests or exams, and if so, the extent to which it is allowed, and if it should be cited and how to cite it. A student who does not comply with the instructor's rules about the use of such tools will be subject to Policy 71 and an investigation into academic misconduct.

For instructors who permit generative AI use: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) trained using large language models (LLM) or other methods to produce text, images, music, or code, like Chat GPT, DALL-E, or GitHub CoPilot, may be used for assignments in this class with proper documentation, citation, and acknowledgement.

GenAI use in teaching and learning must consider the security of student data, course materials, and other intellectual property. Instructors and students must select AI tools that provide an appropriate level of data protection, following university guidance. Neither course materials nor student work should be uploaded to insecure AI tools that might share them without permission. Student information such as identification or grades is subject to Policy 46 – Information Management and must not be uploaded to AI tools that do not meet institutional security requirements.

All AI-enabled system projects must undergo an Information Risk Assessment (IRA). A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) may also be required, depending on the nature of the data being collected or processed. Approval from the appropriate Information Steward is required before using any University data, even if that data is publicly available.

証拠の所在の検索: Key Requirements

For research, graduate students should consult with their supervisor(s) and advisory committee (if one exists) about the limit and scope of the use of GenAI tools, which is often discipline-dependent. Permitted uses and expectations for using GenAI tools should be communicated between the students and their supervisor(s).
