Artificial Intelligence

Note to students

Before using artificial intelligence (AI) tools for assignments you should check with the instructor of the course to see if using AI is permitted.

If you are permitted to use AI, you should:

  • Evaluate the output. Content produced by AI tools may contain inaccurate, unreliable, and/or biased information.
  • Cite the information used. APA Style has an example for citing AI tools.

In addition to the caveats above, know that AI tools may infringe on your privacy by collecting your data, and infringe on others' intellectual property rights by using their content without permission or attribution. Remember that you are still responsible for the content of your assignments, regardless of what tools you use.

AI Tools

ChatGPT, Copilot (Microsoft), and Gemini (Google) are popular AI chatbots that are easy to use and good for most non-specialized uses. Below are other AI tools being used in higher education.
