Reviewed policy snapshot

Cornell's public guidance leaves AI-use decisions to course or faculty policy and pairs conditional use with attribution and privacy limits.

Do

  • Read the syllabus and assignment policy for the specific course.
  • Document and attribute permitted AI use as your course instructions require.
  • Check the current access conditions for the listed Cornell service.

Don't

  • Do not assume a general university-wide permission to use AI.
  • Do not omit attribution when AI-generated text is quoted directly.
  • Do not treat a listed tool as permission for a course or exam.
