Security Review

UNC-Chapel Hill's administrative generative AI guidance says sensitive information should not be entered into generative AI tools unless the Information Security Office has completed a risk assessment and the Data Governance Oversight Group has approved the tool for sensitive information.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: sensitive-information-requires-iso-dgog-approval

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Do not enter sensitive information (as defined by the UNC-Chapel Hill Information Classification Standard) into generative AI tools unless the University’s Information Security Office (ISO) has conducted a risk assessment of the generative AI tool and the University’s Data Governance Oversight Group (DGOG) has approved the tool to handle sensitive information.

Teaching

UNC-Chapel Hill's faculty grading and assessment guidance says students must be able to request a full instructor-led review if they disagree with an AI-generated grade or have concerns about automated feedback.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: student-right-to-instructor-review-of-ai-generated-grade

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students must be able to request a full instructor-led review if they disagree with an AI- generated grade or have concerns about automated feedback, without additional scrutiny, justification, or penalty.

Privacy

UNC-Chapel Hill's research guidance treats entering private or confidential information, research data, grant proposals, or analytical results into public generative AI tools as a public disclosure of that information.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: public-ai-inputs-treated-as-public-disclosure

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Uploading information (e.g., research data, grant proposals, unpublished manuscripts, or analytical results) to a public AI tool is equivalent to releasing it publicly; thus, before any information from you or another individual is uploaded to a public AI tool, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure that the disclosure of that information is consistent with all rules and laws related to the handling of private information.

Teaching

UNC-Chapel Hill's faculty grading and assessment guidance says AI systems used for grading or feedback must be institutionally approved and compliant with data security and privacy standards; faculty using GenAI for grading retain full responsibility for evaluative decisions and feedback.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: ai-grading-approved-systems-and-faculty-accountability

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Faculty must ensure that any AI system used for grading or feedback is institutionally approved and compliant with data security and privacy standards. Uploading student work to consumer-grade AI platforms not contracted by the university is inconsistent with student privacy laws and university policy.

Research

UNC-Chapel Hill's research generative AI guidance applies to members of the research community involved in research under the auspices of the University, including faculty, staff, students, guest researchers, collaborators, and consultants.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence91%

Normalized value: research-community-guidance

Original evidence

Evidence 1
This guidance applies to all members of the research community, including faculty, staff (SHRA and EHRA non-faculty), students (undergraduate, graduate and professional), guest researchers (e.g., unpaid volunteers, interns, and visiting scholars), collaborators, and consultants involved in research occurring under the auspices of the University.

Teaching

UNC-Chapel Hill says faculty should clearly explain when and how AI tools are used in assessment evaluation, including what comes from AI and what comes from instructor judgment.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: Faculty should disclose AI use in assessment evaluation and distinguish AI-supported evaluation from instructor judgment.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Faculty should clearly explain to students when and how AI tools are used in support of assessment evaluation. Students should understand which parts of their evaluation come from AI and which come from the instructor's own judgment.

Teaching

UNC-Chapel Hill faculty guidance encourages instructors to state course and assignment AI expectations in the syllabus and tells Carolina students to follow the specific AI guidelines in that syllabus.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: faculty-syllabus-ai-use-guidance

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Conveying your stance on students’ use of AI in your course is important; it clarifies your expectations and ensures that any use of AI supports rather than frustrates your learning objectives.
