The UC Berkeley Academic Senate recommends that all faculty include a clear statement on their syllabus about course expectations regarding the use of Google Gemini or any other generative AI tool for course-related work. In the absence of such a statement, students may be more likely to use these technologies inappropriately.

We recommend that all faculty include a clear statement on their syllabus about course expectations regarding the use of Google Gemini or any other GenAI tool for course-related work. In the absence of such a statement, students may be more likely to use these technologies inappropriately or fail to utilize them effectively as a learning tool.

The UC Berkeley Academic Senate provides three sample syllabus statement frameworks for faculty: 'Full AI' (GenAI required), 'Some AI' (limited permitted use with restrictions), and 'No AI' (all GenAI use prohibited). Faculty should modify these to fit their course requirements.

We provide three sample statements. Instructors should modify them to fit their course requirements. The three statements include the two extremes, with the most and least GenAI use. We also include a third option that is approximately in the middle between the two.

Anders

The UC Berkeley Academic Senate recommends that for assignments where GenAI is not permitted, instructors should adopt enforcement mechanisms such as in-person proctored exams, an additional oral exam component, or a written statement of academic integrity, since no validated GenAI detection tools exist.

GenAI detection tools are increasingly less accurate; there are no validated GenAI detection tools. Therefore, assignments or learning activities where GenAI is not permitted should consider adopting one or more of the following solutions: Written Statement of Academic Integrity; In-person proctored exams/activities; An additional interview component (or oral exam) to an assignment where students are graded on an explanation of their work.

Anders

The UC Berkeley Academic Senate's 'Some AI' syllabus framework requires students to include an acknowledgement of their use of any generative AI system in submitted work, along with the prompts used and how the output was utilized.

When assignments in the course permit or incorporate the use of GenAI tools, the assignment will ask you to include an acknowledgement of your use of any type of GenAI in your submitted work and share the prompts and outputs utilized at the time of submission. The suggested format is as follows: I acknowledge the use of [insert AI system(s) and link] to [specific use of GenAI]. The prompts used include [list of prompts]. The output from these prompts was used to [explain the use].
