Can I use generative AI in my assignment?
Always check with your instructor first! Before starting your assignment, confirm with your instructor that you are permitted to use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. Unauthorized use of generative software may constitute academic misconduct.
Do I need to cite content generated by artificial intelligence?
Remember to include a citation whenever you incorporate content generated by AI in your assignment. For example, if you paraphrased or quoted text generated by ChatGPT, cite the source in text and in your works cited list. Neglecting to cite this material may constitute academic misconduct. Since your reader can't access the exact AI-generated text, you may also consider including a copy of the text as an appendix, or as part of supplemental materials.
What if I use AI to come up with ideas or an outline for my assignment?
As part of using artificial intelligence responsibly and ethically, it is important to be transparent and acknowledge how you have used AI in your work. If you used AI to generate ideas or an outline for your assignment, include a statement in your work indicating which AI tools you used and how you used them. Neglecting to include this statement may constitute academic misconduct.
Are there risks to using AI content as a source?
Be aware that there is a possibility that the content AI generates is biased, outdated, or false. Always evaluate the information generated by AI tools. Students are responsible for the accuracy, factuality, and truthfulness of artificial intelligence content used to assist with, and in, assessments.
Note: AI-generated content may not be considered an acceptable source for your coursework. Be sure to evaluate the content carefully and check with your instructor if you are permitted to use it as a source. When citing AI-generated text, remember to include both in-text and works cited list citations. For more information, see:
