“Consider placing a statement in your syllabus or on assignments that explicitly stipulates that the use of AI technologies to generate text is not allowed and will be treated as an academic integrity violation.

Talk to your students about AI text-generating technologies and the importance of doing their own work. Discuss how the writing process nurtures skills and abilities that are necessary to their employability and success after graduation.
Use the free detection tools that are becoming available and inform students that detection tools will be evolving right along with AI technologies. Note that these are not 100% reliable but can be useful. Currently, Safe Assign and TurnItIn cannot detect AI-generated work.”

When schools consider Generative AI (GenAI), here are 6 questions to pose to the companies that provide those tools. 1. Consider the capabilities and limitations of the tools (like hallucinations). 2. Do they identify and mitigate biases? 3. What about student privacy and data use? 4. Is there human oversight of the tool? 5. Evidence of positive impact for students or faculty? 6. Does the tool offer accessibility and inclusivity for all learners/users?
