Generative AI Overview

Generative AI is artificial intelligence that can create new content such as text, images, code, audio and video. It is able to create content based on large sets of data with intuitive processing algorithms. “These models are trained on large text datasets to learn to predict the next word in a sentence and, from that, generate coherent and compelling human-like output in response to a question or statement” (UNESCO, 2023).

We encourage instructors to include a statement in their course syllabus regarding the use and/or misuse of AI or specially generative AI technology in their course. A statement ensures that your expectations for appropriate interaction with generative AI tools are articulated clearly to students. 

Below are examples of sample language you may adopt for your own course. Please modify or create your own based on the needs of your course:

No Generative AI use Policy

For this course, all assignments, activities and homework must be completed by the student. The use of generative AI, including ChatGPT, is expressly prohibited. Use of these tools will be considered a violation of the CSUEB Academic Dishonesty Policy and may be subject to disciplinary action. 

Use of Generative AI is allowed in specific course instances

For this course, there may be assignments that require or encourage the use of generative AI tools. I will explicitly let you know if any of those tools are allowed on assignment(s). Use of AI used in any other context in this course will be considered a violation of the CSUEB Academic Dishonesty Policy and may be subject to disciplinary action. 


Use of Generative AI is generally allowed in the course

Use of generative AI is generally welcomed in this course with appropriate citations. AI tools can be used to help brainstorm, edit, or even revise written assignments. Assignments submitted without any citation of an AI tool will be considered your own original work. Assignments submitted that utilized AI tools should be appropriately referenced, otherwise it may be considered a violation of the CSUEB Academic Dishonesty Policy and may be subject to disciplinary action.

It can respond to questions with written text. In higher education, this has generated some concerns that students might use the tool to help with homework and assignments.
