Evidence-backed claims

UCSC ITS says users should never enter P4 data into any AI tool, and that P3 or P4 data is prohibited in unlicensed AI tools.

UCSC ITS lists Gemini Chat, NotebookLM, and Zoom AI Companion as campus-licensed AI tools, with Gemini Chat and NotebookLM available to staff and Zoom AI Companion available to staff and contractors.

UC Santa Cruz's campus AI FAQ states that student AI use in coursework is governed at the individual course or assignment level, rather than by a single campus-wide student AI-use rule in that FAQ.

The UCSC Teaching and Learning Center, in partnership with the Academic Integrity Office, provides instructor guidance for recognizing and responding to suspected generative AI misuse, including documentation, student meetings, and possible academic misconduct reporting.

The UCSC Teaching and Learning Center advises instructors to integrate a clear generative AI-use policy into the syllabus, including permitted and prohibited uses, attribution norms, and misuse consequences.

The UCSC AI Council FAQ advises researchers considering AI use in human-subjects research to contact UCSC's IRB office.
