Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1Penn offers access to a number of AI tools. The guidelines for protecting student privacy while using these tools are informed by the data risk classification and the privacy agreements of the tool being used.
Other
Users of AI at Penn are accountable for AI-generated content and should validate its accuracy with trusted first-party sources, being wary of misinformation or hallucinations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1The user of AI should endeavor to validate the accuracy of created content with trusted first party sources and monitor the reliability of that content. Users are accountable for their use of content created by AI and should be wary of misinformation or "hallucinations" by AI tools (e.g., citations to publications or source materials that do not exist or references that otherwise distort the truth).
Other
Penn users should not input moderate or high-risk Penn data (per the Penn Data Risk Classification) or intellectual property into AI tools without careful consideration of data use policies, a protective contract, and review by Penn's Privacy Office and Office of Information Security.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1Users of AI should avoid sharing personal or sensitive data with the tool and should not input moderate or high-risk Penn data as defined by the Penn Data Risk Classification, or intellectual property, without: Careful consideration and understanding of the tool's use of Penn data and the service provider's stated rights to the data, including, but not limited to whether the service provider offers the option to opt-out of using customer's data to train the AI; A contract in place to protect Penn data; and Review by Penn's Privacy Office and consultation with the Office of Information Security as coordinated by Procurement when moderate or high-risk data is involved.
Other
It is not permissible under HIPAA or Penn Medicine policy to share patient or research participant information with open or public AI tools and services such as ChatGPT; individual patient data and data sets (even if deidentified) may not be exposed to such tools absent institutional approval.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1It is not permissible under the Health Information Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) or Penn Medicine policy to share patient or research participant information in connection with open or public AI tools and services, such as ChatGPT. This is because, as currently configured, such open or public tools and services can use and share any data without regard to HIPAA restrictions and other protections. Therefore, individual patient data and patient data sets (even if deidentified) may not be exposed to open or public AI tools or services, absent institutional approval.
Other
Penn researchers should obtain IRB approvals prior to exposing research participant data to AI tools and should exercise caution when research involves high-risk data including PII and health information.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1Researchers should adhere to federal or international requirements on obtaining informed consent, and Institutional Review Board approvals should be obtained prior to exposing research participant data to AI tools. Caution should be adopted when research involves the examination of high-risk data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and research participant health information (both identifiable and non-identifiable) exposed to AI.
Other

Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1While automating tasks using AI may improve operational efficiency for University Business processes, oversight and review of the use of AI and verification of its outputs for these University business processes should be in place to ensure reliability, consistency, and accuracy.
Other
Penn educators should provide students with clear guidelines on the use of AI within coursework and should disclose to students when course materials have been created with AI or when AI detection software will be used.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1As expectations may vary between classes and instructors, it is important for instructors to provide students with clear guidelines similar to the guidelines on collaboration, on the use of AI within coursework, and when and how the use of AI within a course should be cited. Disclose to students when course materials have been created with the use of AI and when AI detection software will be used in the course.
Other
In the absence of other guidance, Penn students should treat the use of AI as they would treat assistance from another person — if it is unacceptable to have another person substantially complete a task like writing an essay, it is also unacceptable to have AI complete the task.
Review: Agent reviewed
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1In the absence of other guidance, treat the use of AI as you would treat assistance from another person. For example, this means if it is unacceptable to have another person substantially complete a task like writing an essay, it is also unacceptable to have AI to complete the task.
Other
Penn researchers should consult with department leadership and their discipline's publishing standards to determine how AI use should be accounted for with regard to authorship in publications.
