Unless otherwise specified by your instructor, it is a violation of the HGSE Academic Integrity Policy to use generative AI to create all or part of an assignment for a course (e.g., a paper, memo, presentation, or short response) and submit it as your own.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 78-78; exact character range 2859:3116; original source representation retained

Permissible uses of generative AI in HGSE coursework include seeking clarification on concepts, brainstorming ideas, or generating scenarios that help contextualize what you are learning.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 80-80; exact character range 3377:3564; original source representation retained

If you have any doubt about whether a specific use of generative AI is permitted for an assignment or course, you are responsible for discussing it with your instructor prior to using it.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 77-77; exact character range 2668:2855; original source representation retained

For any permitted use of GenAI tools, you must acknowledge and document that use in your assignment submission by explaining what tool(s) you used, prompts you provided (if applicable), and how you integrated the output into your work. If you cite directly from the tool, use proper citation format to credit the source.

While preparing for an exam, a student would be permitted to email another person about the subject matter of the exam and/or ask that person to explain a relevant concept. Similarly, while studying for an exam, a student would be permitted to submit a prompt to an artificial intelligence application about topics or concepts relevant to the exam. In contrast, a student would not be permitted to ask either another person or an artificial intelligence application to pre-write text for the student and then incorporate that text into their exam.

An instructor may provide, for their course, rules different from those stated in this policy, as long as the rules are (1) described in writing and (2) communicated to all students in the course (for instance, stated in the course syllabus). If not expressly permitted in writing by the instructor, any use of AI in a manner or to an extent contrary to the above policy will be considered academic dishonesty and may subject the student to disciplinary action.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 176-176; exact character range 17215:17676; original source representation retained

Policy: the use of generative or agentic AI in any form is prohibited for aid in analyzing, idea-generation, research, formatting, organizing, outlining, drafting, revising, or editing any work submitted in Social Studies courses or other concentration requirements.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 90-90; exact character range 2376:2642; original source representation retained

This includes, but is not limited to, papers or responses or posts of any kind or length, in-class presentations, exams and quizzes, preparatory work for the senior thesis (e.g., the Prospectus), research and analysis for the senior thesis, and the drafting, editing, or revising of the senior thesis.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 91-91; exact character range 2643:2944; original source representation retained

Scope: The Policy serves as the default AI policy for all Social Studies courses, including any for which there is no explicitly stated AI policy. Individual instructors may utilize an alternative AI policy if they deem it pedagogically appropriate. Instructors will notify students in writing of any alternative policy on the syllabus and must require students to disclose the use of AI in all assignment submissions (e.g., a prefatory statement or footnotes throughout).

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 92-92; exact character range 2945:3417; original source representation retained

AI-assisted work completed for another course (even one permitting AI use) may not be used in the Senior Thesis.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 95-95; exact character range 4378:4490; original source representation retained

To request an exception, students must first consult with and secure the approval of their thesis supervisor.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 97-97; exact character range 4975:5084; original source representation retained

Next, they must complete (or resubmit, if already completed) the AI Policy Attestation form section on requesting AI usage exceptions. The DUS may ask for additional information or to meet to discuss the request. Approval from the DUS must be secured no later than November 1 of the senior year (or April 1 for off-cycle seniors graduating in the fall).

We recommend that instructors who think a student may have inappropriately used generative AI begin by meeting with the student to discuss their submitted work. It is recommended that this meeting take place soon after the work is submitted. In this meeting we suggest that instructors:

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 192-192; exact character range 7249:7535; original source representation retained

All faculty are required to inform students of the policies governing generative AI use in class. Whether students in your course are forbidden from using ChatGPT or expected to explore its limits, a policy helps ensure that your expectations for appropriate interaction with generative AI tools are clear to students.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 21-21; exact character range 1075:1393; original source representation retained

More specifically, you should post your policy on your Canvas site.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 21-21; exact character range 1522:1589; original source representation retained

Faculty should be clear with students they’re teaching and advising about their policies on permitted uses, if any, of generative AI in classes and on academic work. Students are also encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification about these policies as needed.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 57-57; exact character range 2530:2799; original source representation retained

AI meeting assistants should not be used in Harvard meetings, with the exception of approved tools with contractual protections:

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 59-59; exact character range 1513:1641; original source representation retained

Only begin recording once all participants have consented.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 78-78; exact character range 4303:4361; original source representation retained

* If a participant objects to the use of an AI assistant, do not use the assistant (those receiving the assistant as an accommodation for disability should consult with their Local Accommodations Coordinator about how to proceed in such instances).

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 80-80; exact character range 4616:4864; original source representation retained

* Avoid use in sensitive meetings: Explicitly ask participants to disable AI assistants in meetings involving Level 3 or higher information (i.e., sensitive nonpublic information such as patient information, identifiable student information, employee performance or employment actions, personally identifiable records, sensitive research, donor strategy, and privileged legal advice).  This holds true whether the meeting is hosted by Harvard or a third party.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 82-82; exact character range 5077:5537; original source representation retained

* Review and correct summaries, share sparingly, and delete when no longer required: Prior to sharing AI-generated meeting summaries, carefully review the document, correcting any errors, then share sparingly on a need-to-know basis.  Keep in mind that summaries may include information that was shared before or after certain participants joined the meeting.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 85-85; exact character range 5987:6346; original source representation retained

* If you are subject to a litigation hold, AI-generated transcripts or summaries from meetings you host must be preserved.

It is forbidden to make your own recording of any course meetings, with or without AI tool integrations. If you require or would prefer that course meetings be recorded, discuss this request with your instructor. More broadly, if you require AI technology as part of an assistive technology solution to enable you to participate fully in the course, you must coordinate your usage with the Office of Student Affairs.

證據定位器: Derived source text lines 88-88; exact character range 6303:6719; original source representation retained

Faculty must get documented permission from students before putting original student content into any generative AI tool, and students should be made aware of the risks of entering their original work into such tools.
