Evidence-backed claims

Penn State's AI Studio user agreement permits Level 1 and Level 2 data in AI Studio and prohibits Level 3 and Level 4 data.

Penn State guidance tells users not to use free personal AI accounts for Penn State-related teaching, learning, research, or work and never to input Level 3 or Level 4 information into any AI tool.

Penn State guidance says AI tools used by multiple people in a class, program, or administrative office require an accessibility review before use.

Penn State says instructors need department head and dean approval, or appropriate commonwealth campus academic leadership approval, before requesting AI-assisted grading software.

Penn State's Academic Integrity page makes student use of content-generating AI tools course- and assignment-specific and warns that improper use can be an academic integrity violation.

Penn State ORP guidance says researchers using generative AI must document process inputs, outputs, and prompts, verify AI-generated content, data, and references, and disclose use transparently in proposals, manuscripts, and publications.

Penn State ORP guidance says identifiable or restricted human-subjects data should not be input into generative AI systems unless IRB and data agreements explicitly approve it.

Penn State says academic integrity policies apply to student use or misuse of all tools, including university-approved AI tools.
