• Always confirm with your professor whether AI tools like ChatGPT are allowed for each assignment
• Always verify information sources generated by AI tools
  • AI has been known to generate false information and to cite non-existent sources
  • AI-generated text mines people's intellectual property without crediting them, which raises ethical concern

• Some of this guidance may change and will be updated as recommendations evolve.
