Mitigate potential privacy concerns by removing personally identifying information (e.g., names, email addresses, phone numbers). For example, when writing a prompt to draft an email to Joe Smith, replace "Joe Smith" with "XYZ."

McGill IT Services says McGill offers a secure Commercial Data Protection version of Microsoft Copilot for McGill-related tasks. McGill chose that version because it conforms to University privacy and data-protection standards; access is in Microsoft Edge with McGill credentials. The public version should not be used for McGill-related purposes.

Academic Integrity

McGill's Provost-endorsed principles state that instructors remain responsible for comporting themselves according to the highest standards of academic integrity in their use of generative AI tools. Instructors must be explicit in course outlines about the expectations for use of generative AI tools and may set limits on their use in assessment tasks.

Onderwijs

McGill recommends that instructors explain to students in their course outline what the appropriate use or non-use is of generative AI tools in the context of that course. The use or non-use of these tools should align with the learning outcomes associated with the course.

There should be no default assumption as to the use of generative AI tools. Therefore, McGill recommends that instructors explain to students in their course outline what the appropriate use or non-use is of generative AI tools in the context of that course. The use or non-use of these tools should align with the learning outcomes associated with the course. For this reason, instructors will need to write their own context-appropriate course outline statements.
