Academic Integrity
Utah State University's teaching guidance says positive AI detection reports should be approached with skepticism and should not be the only point of evidence or suspicion in an accusation of student cheating.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: AI detector reports should be treated cautiously and not used as the sole evidence for a cheating accusation.
Original evidence
Evidence 1Until more conclusive research exists on the accuracy of AI detection tools, positive AI detection reports should be approached with skepticism. They should not be the only point of evidence or suspicion in an accusation of student cheating.
Research
Utah State University's research compliance guidance strongly encourages faculty to consider confidentiality when deciding whether AI use is appropriate for research and says researchers should not input confidential, proprietary, or restricted human-subjects data into a generative AI tool.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Researchers are strongly encouraged not to input confidential, proprietary, or restricted human-subjects data into generative AI tools.
Original evidence

Academic Integrity
Utah State University's student AI resources say ChatGPT and other generative AI tools should be treated like other sources for plagiarism and academic integrity, and students should check each professor's policies for when and how AI tools may be used in assignments.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Students should acknowledge generative AI use and follow professor-specific AI policies for assignments.
Original evidence
Evidence 1ChatGPT and other generative AI tools should be treated the same way as any other source when it comes to plagiarism and academic integrity. ... Always check your professor's policies to see when/how you are allowed to use these tools in your assignments.
Academic Integrity

Original evidence
Evidence 1Cheating: ... depending on the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; ... Plagiarism: representing ... the published or unpublished work of another person as one's own ... without full and clear acknowledgment.
