Academic Integrity and Generative AI

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a category of technology that creates new content in response to prompts. GenAI is a rapidly evolving area affecting university education. Artificial intelligence is built into more and more of our existing technology, making it difficult to avoid and practically impossible to ban as a result.

All members of the university community must access and use university data in ways that safeguard the data and protect the institution. This information will help students get familiarized with data handling guidelines for AI.

Being AI Literate introduction

By now, you've likely heard the terms Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), Large Language Model (LLM), and Machine Learning. Learn more about these terms and others. 

How AI-Ready Are You?

Being AI literate is more than knowing how to use an AI tool—it involves a deeper understanding of how AI tools are developed, their limitations and biases, and, importantly, their environmental and societal impact. By completing this self-assessment checklist , you will learn about what AI is, what its limitations are, and the ethical considerations surrounding its use.
