Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Responsible AI Use

Every student that comes to Smith is required to agree and adhere to the Academic Integrity Statement. In the statement, it is noted that:

Smith students are responsible for upholding their own integrity by adhering to all course policies and properly acknowledging all sources used in preparing academic work.  When assignments require students to submit work that is the product of their own intellectual labor, faculty expect that students have neither used unauthorized resources nor engaged in unauthorized collaboration with others.

 

As the use of Generative AI becomes more common, it can be difficult to understand how it fits into Academic Integrity Statements such as Smith's. This page aims to offer clarity on how to use AI responsibly, especially as members of a campus community. 

Citing Generative AI

As stated in the Academic Integrity Statement, professors will often expect that you produce original work, with outside sources properly cited. When you use Generative AI to generate content for your academic projects, it is expected that you cite the Generative AI tools that you use similar to how you would cite a article or book. Below are some resources that can demonstrate how to cite Generative AI.

Learning

Part of using GenAI responsibly, in an educational setting, is understanding the impact it has on learning. Below you will find resources that describe the impact AI can have on education, both positively and negatively to better frame responsible AI use.
