5 reviewed evidence-backed public claim
Academic Integrity
SFU guidance says AI detectors cannot be used for grading decisions or academic misconduct investigations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: AI detectors are not permitted as grading or misconduct-investigation decision tools under the cited guidance.
Original evidence
Evidence 1Do not rely on AI detectors, as these tools can be unreliable, biased and may unintentionally comprise your learning and well-being. AI detectors cannot be used for grading decisions or academic misconduct investigations.
Academic Integrity
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.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Students must follow instructor AI-use guidance and ask before using AI when expectations are unclear.
Original evidence
Evidence 1The only way to know if you are permitted to use generative AI for your course assignments is by checking with your course instructor, who will likely communicate this in the course syllabus. If you are unsure, you must not assume that using generative AI is permitted.
Privacy
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.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Faculty and staff AI use is constrained by SFU PIA status for personal or confidential information.
Original evidence
Evidence 1users need to ensure that they never input personal or confidential information into AI tools that have not undergone a SFU Privacy Impact Assessment.
Academic Integrity
When an SFU instructor permits generative AI use, SFU tells students to cite or disclose that use appropriately as part of academic integrity.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Permitted GenAI use still requires appropriate citation or transparent disclosure.
Original evidence
Evidence 1Even if your instructor permits the use of GenAI, you must not do so without appropriate citation. This is because you must be transparent about the aids you use as part of commitment to academic integrity.
Teaching
SFU instructor guidance says instructors should clearly communicate AI-use expectations in assignments, the classroom, and the syllabus.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Instructor guidance emphasizes explicit communication of AI-use expectations.
Original evidence
Evidence 1Clearly communicate your expectations regarding AI use in each assignment and in the classroom to your students in the syllabus, during first day of class, and at intervals throughout the semester.
