AI is everywhere, and it's important to know when and how to use it responsibly.
Not all professors allow for AI in their classes. You need to check your syllabus for any included policies or ask them directly before using it for any classwork. That said, AI is good for more than just classwork! It can help with learning new materials, getting unstuck, and more.
This page is being built and will include more resources in the future. In the meantime, please check out the Student Guide for Artificial Intelligence, a resource from Elon University that explores how you as a student can responsibly engage with AI.
Using AI ethically first means making sure that AI is allowed in your class. Check your syllabus to see if your professor has included information on AI use, such as whether it's disallowed ("no AI allowed for any reason") or if it can be used sometimes.
Oftentimes, if AI use is allowed, you'll need to attribute it. This is similar to creating a citation or a reference for your papers, giving credit to the ideas that you've used to further your own research. For AI, your attribution might look like a citation or it might be a statement.
On Newman University's guide on AI disclosures, they provide the following best practices:
Any assignments that allow the use of AI tools should include an acknowledgement of your AI use.
Don't assume that you are allowed to use AI tools on an assessment. Check with your instructor if you are unsure. Policies will vary from instructor to instructor.
Include an acknowledgement in an appendix to your assignment or in a location designated by your instructor.
Acknowledgement of how you used AI tools on an assignment should include the following:
I acknowledge the use of [insert AI system(s) and link] to [specific use of generative artificial intelligence]. The prompts used include [list of prompts]. The output from these prompts was used to [explain use].

What can you use AI for? Here is a guide from Ethan Mollick that he shares with his students! Although it is from 2023 and doesn't include all of AI's newest features, it's still a good resource in getting started with using AI.
