Evidence-backed claims

SFU guidance says AI detectors cannot be used for grading decisions or academic misconduct investigations.

SFU tells students that use of generative AI for coursework depends on instructor permission, and students should not assume it is permitted when guidance is unclear or absent.

SFU guidance for faculty and staff says personal or confidential information should not be entered into AI tools that have not completed an SFU Privacy Impact Assessment.

When an SFU instructor permits generative AI use, SFU tells students to cite or disclose that use appropriately as part of academic integrity.

SFU instructor guidance says instructors should clearly communicate AI-use expectations in assignments, the classroom, and the syllabus.
