ChatGPT and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Students

Introduces generative AI and discusses responsible use

Welcome! This guide explains how generative Artificial Intelligence tools work, issues to be aware of when using them, and how best to cite AI's role in your work. 

***This guide is a work in progress. AI is evolving rapidly. Please check back for changes and updates.***

 

Please note: Many instructors do not allow the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, Bard, etc. when completing assignments for their course.

  • Assume that you are not allowed to use generative AI for your coursework unless you are explicitly told that it is allowed. 
  • Ask your instructor if you are allowed to use one of these tools before doing so. Be specific about how you intend to use the tool and why you think it will help you. 
  • Note or cite when and how you have used an AI tool in completing your work to avoid plagiarism.
