Because there is no universal UB policy about artificial intelligence tools, instructors need to give students clear guidance about what is and is not allowed in their course overall and/or on each assessment.

Beoordeelde beweringen

Microsoft Copilot Chat is listed for University at Buffalo SUNY in an official university AI tools source. Derived availability: allowed. Derived endorsement type: institutionally licensed or procured.

UBIT guidance says individuals should not enter Category 1 or Category 2 data, including non-public research data, into Gen AI tools that the university has not contracted with.

A UBIT advisory says UB aligns with SUNY and New York State restrictions on DeepSeek AI, prohibiting its download, access, or use on UB-owned devices or UB networks, and says all AI tools must be reviewed and approved by the UB Software Review team.

UB's Office of Academic Integrity states that UB has no universal policy about student use of artificial intelligence and that instructors have academic freedom to decide which tools students may use for course learning objectives.

Because UB has no universal AI policy for student use, the Office of Academic Integrity says instructors need to tell students what AI use is and is not allowed in the course or on each assessment, including in the syllabus.

UB CATT encourages faculty to add generative-AI statements to syllabi, avoid vague language, state specific parameters or limits, and distinguish permitted non-generative tools from generative AI tools.

UBIT's public AI page lists Microsoft Copilot Chat as UB-offered generative-AI software and lists Zoom AI Companion and Top Hat Ace as UB-offered software with AI-enhanced features.
