Review: Agent reviewedConfidence97%Evidence1Languagesen

privacy

Princeton University requires that only University-licensed generative AI tools should be used with University Information classified as Internal or Confidential, and the use of publicly available generative AI tools in conjunction with such Princeton Information is not permitted by the University.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence98%Evidence1Languagesen

academic_integrity

Princeton University states that inappropriate uses of generative AI on any work submitted to fulfill an academic requirement, including directly copying the output, representing output as the student's own, exceeding instructor parameters, or failing to disclose its use, would constitute violations of academic integrity (Rights, Rules, Responsibilities section 2.4.6).

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence97%Evidence1Languagesen

teaching

Princeton University states that the decision to allow, limit, or prohibit generative AI in a course or in undergraduate independent work remains with the faculty; faculty members have the discretion to set their own generative AI policy for their courses.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence97%Evidence1Languagesen

teaching

Princeton University requires faculty to set clear expectations for whether, when, and how generative AI can be used and state those expectations in the course syllabus.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence96%Evidence1Languagesen

teaching

Princeton University's McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning recommends that faculty do not use AI detection software to determine if student work is AI-generated, stating that detection tools are unreliable and biased.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence96%Evidence1Languagesen

ai_tool_treatment

Princeton University's Office of Information Technology states that Microsoft Copilot is currently the only generative AI tool made available by OIT, and that when logged in with a Princeton University account, Copilot provides Enterprise Data Protection where prompts and responses are not used to train the underlying large language models and chat data is encrypted.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

privacy

Princeton University's OIT guidance states that non-public Princeton data should not be used in public generative AI tools, and that University Information classified as Restricted must not be used with any AI tool.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

academic_integrity

Princeton University requires students to disclose the use of generative AI when permitted by the instructor, rather than cite or acknowledge the use, since generative AI is an algorithm rather than a source (Rights, Rules, Responsibilities section 2.4.7).
