Use of Artificial Intelligence (from Professor Hart's syllabus)
The work you submit must be original to you. Artificial intelligence (A.I.), in the context of this course, refers to any large language model tools used in any part of the creative processes for this course (e.g., brainstorming, research, writing development, etc.). Examples of A.I. include but are not limited to ChatGPT, Microsoft CoPilot, Google in A.I. Mode, and beyond. A.I. may be used as a tool for inquiry; however, no content shared or submitted for this course can come from anyone or anything aside from yourself. If A.I. is used in the developmental process for anything in this course, you must directly address how A.I. was used, specifying the A.I. tool that was accessed. Using A.I.-generated content directly is not permitted. For example, if any deliverable submitted for this course is purely A.I.-generated, the student will receive no greater than zero points, which may result in failing the course. Please follow the guidance specified by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), accessible here, and those specified in the article, “Guidelines for ethical use and acknowledgement of large language models in academic writing” (Mann et al., 2024) -- accessible here. If you have a concern or question around the use of A.I., talk to me directly. If you are an avid user of A.I., I suggest maintaining your own running record of when, where, and how these tools were used in case I, or any other professor, have questions about how it shaped your work. To ensure the ethical use of A.I., transparency, communication, and human consciousness are key.
