Navigating AI for Students and Faculty

AI in the Classroom

"In his thought-provoking keynote at the 2024 ASU+GSV Summit, Ethan Mollick (Professor, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania) argues that the rapid advancement of AI is causing a "homework apocalypse" in education, as AI can now easily complete most assignments better than students. However, rather than viewing this as a crisis, Mollick sees it as an opportunity for educators to transform the way they teach by integrating AI tools into their classrooms. He encourages teachers to experiment with AI, build their own AI-powered educational tools, and share their findings with the wider community, ultimately democratizing access to educational technology and ensuring that AI has a positive impact on education." -ASU-GSV Keynote Description

Did the student or AI write this?

Detection tools are controversial and, on their own, do not stand up to academic integrity challenges. If you'd like to read more about this, Vanderbilt University turned off their TurnItIn subscription, here's the article.

With that said, there are tools that are being created to help us figure out if something was created by AI Large Language Models such as ChatGPT.

Please understand that these tools are not foolproof and students can use them as easily as we can however, you may find them useful as a starting point.

GPTZero: This is a free (with paid upgrade), non-commercial, tool. Documents are scored by how much may have been written by AI. Each sentence written by AI is highlighted.

ChatGPT: You can actually use ChatGPT to check if something was generated by AI. Simply ask it "was this created by artificial intelligence?" and put in the piece of work.

AI Classifier: A resource that distinguishes between AI and human written text brought to you by the creators of ChatGPT.

Play a Game to Test Your Ability to Spot When Something is Written by AI

  • Real of Fake: select a category (i.e. short stories, New York Times articles, recipes or presidential speeches) and test if you can tell if ai wrote it or a human.
  • Human or Not: Chat with someone for two minutes, and try to figure out if it was a fellow human or an AI bot.

Example Syllabi

During this course, you may use generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) to assist with assignments providing that you also do the following:

  1.  Include a disclaimer statement at the start of your submission that states which AI tool was used, and for what purpose. Examples:
    1. Grammarly was used to assist with proofreading this assignment.
    2. ChatGPT was used to develop an outline for this section.
  2. Validate the output and reflect on why this non-peer reviewed source is a useful addition to your assignment. Complete the AI Use Statement and Reflection (available on Brightspace) along with your assignment.
    1. For discussion board posts: Attach the document to your post.
    2. For assignments submitted through Brightspace: Upload a copy as an additional file to Brightspace.

Failure to acknowledge the use of AI on course assignments will result in a required 1-on-1 meeting with me. During this meeting, If you cannot appropriately demonstrate your understanding of the course material (you must do so without reciting your assignment to me), you will receive a zero on the assignment and may receive a charge of academic dishonesty as defined in the SUNY Brockport Academic Dishonesty Policy.

AI Use Statement and Reflection

This course encourages students to explore the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT for all assignments and assessments. Any such use must be appropriately acknowledged and cited. It is each student’s responsibility to assess the validity and applicability of any AI output that is submitted; you are ultimately responsible. Violations of this policy will be considered academic dishonesty and fall under SUNY Brockport's Academic Dishonesty Policy for determining appropriate consequences. We draw your attention to the fact that different classes can implement different AI policies, and it is your responsibility to conform to expectations for each course.

Modified from: Harvard

Students in this course are encouraged to explore the use of AI-based tools (such as ChatGPT) when completing assignments. All sources, including AI tools, must be properly cited. Use of AI without proper citation will be considered academic dishonesty and subject to disciplinary action according to SUNY Brockport's Academic Dishonesty Policy.

Please note that AI results can be biased and inaccurate. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you use from AI is accurate. Additionally, pay attention to the privacy of your data. Many AI tools will incorporate and use any content you share, so be careful not to unintentionally share copyrighted materials, original work, or personal information.

Learning how to thoughtfully and strategically use AI-based tools may help you develop your skills, refine your work, and prepare you for your future career. If you have any questions about citation or about what constitutes academic integrity in this course or at the SUNY Brockport, please feel free to contact me to discuss your concerns.

In this course, we may use generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to examine the ways in which these kinds of tools may inform our exploration of the topics of the class. You will be informed as to when and how these tools will be used, along with guidance for attribution if/as needed. Any use of generative AI tools outside of these parameters constitutes plagiarism and may result in a charge of academic dishonesty as defined in the SUNY Brockport Academic Dishonesty Policy.

Modified from: UT Austin

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and applications (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) in some circumstances in this course as they support the course learning objectives. The specifics of when, where and how these tools are permitted will be included with each assignment, along with guidance for attribution. Any use of these tools other than where indicated is a violation of this course’s expectations and will be addressed through SUNY Brockport's Academic Dishonesty Policy.

Modified from: UW-Madison

The use of generative AI tools or apps for assignments in this course, including tools like ChatGPT and other AI writing or coding assistants, is prohibited. Detection of the use of AI tools may result in disciplinary action following SUNY Brockport's Academic Dishonesty Policy.
