Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: course_ai_use_requires_instructor_authorization
Original evidence

Localized display only
The same page says coursework use of generative AI requires written instructor permission and may not be used except as explicitly authorized.
Privacy
UMN OIT guidance says University users should safeguard data by uploading only allowed University data into appropriately licensed AI tools, and it distinguishes UMN-licensed tools from an individual ChatGPT license.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: licensed_ai_data_use_limits
Original evidence
Evidence 1Safeguarding data means only uploading allowed University data into appropriately licensed tools. The table below outlines the data types you can and can't add to AI tools.
Security Review
UMN OIT guidance says AI outputs should be closely reviewed and verified by a human, and AI-generated code for institutional IT systems and services should not be used unless reviewed by a qualified technologist.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: human_review_required_for_ai_outputs_and_code
Original evidence
Evidence 1AI tools can generate incomplete or biased responses, so any output should be closely reviewed and verified by a human. AI-generated code should not be used for institutional IT systems and services unless it is reviewed by a technologist with appropriate skills.
Academic Integrity
UMN Libraries' student guidance says students should check each course syllabus, ask instructors when unsure, keep track of GenAI use, and cite or acknowledge AI-generated material when permitted.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: student_ai_citation_and_acknowledgement
Original evidence
Evidence 1Each class or project might have different rules or expectations on AI use. Each instructor gets to decide how they are using or not using these tools in their classes.
Localized display only
The page also tells students to keep track of GenAI use and cite AI-generated text, images, or other media when used.
Teaching
