Key Takeaways

Top 3 Things for Students to Know and Do Regarding AI

  1. Acknowledge your use of AI 
    • Tell your professor and/or classmates that you used AI, and tell them how you used it: to create an outline for your paper, for example, or to help you craft your argument, etc.  
  2. Verify AI-generated content
    • Use Google and your research skills to double-check any facts or ideas that AI generates. AI often just makes things up—including citations to articles that don’t exist—so you have to carefully evaluate information that AI gives you.
  3. Review the AI guidelines in your syllabus and any further instructions that your professor gives you
    • Knowing how to use AI effectively and ethically can make it an important element in your academic skillset!
