Academic Integrity

UIC College of Medicine policy states that students are expected to draft submitted assignments on their own; AI may assist with idea generation and editing, but AI directly authoring a response is considered a violation of academic integrity and professionalism.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Normalized value: college-of-medicine-ai-direct-authorship-violation

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Submitted assignments are expected to be written by students. While AI may be used to assist in idea generation and editing, students are expected to draft their assignment on their own. Use of AI to directly author the response is considered a violation of academic integrity and professionalism.

Privacy

UIC College of Medicine policy prohibits students from generating patient care notes with AI applications except EHR-supported applications explicitly permitted by course leadership, and says protected health information should never be entered into outside generative AI tools.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Normalized value: college-of-medicine-phi-ehr-ai-only

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students are prohibited from generating patient care notes using AI applications other than those supported by the electronic health record (EHR), such as predictive text, and only if explicitly permitted by course leadership.

Privacy

UIC states that students, staff, faculty, and researchers who need to enter high-risk or sensitive data into a generative AI tool or service should submit a ticket to [email protected], and that high-risk or sensitive data in any generative-AI solution must have appropriate contracts and data-use agreements.

Teaching

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: instructors-develop-ai-syllabus-policy

Original evidence

Teaching

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence88%

Normalized value: cite-ai-text-and-verify-citations

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Please note that you need to cite the specific AI writing tool as a source if you present any significant amount (i.e., more than one sentence) of minimally edited AI-generated text as your own. Users should expect generative AI writing tools to produce a mix of real, partially correct, and completely fabricated citations.
