Generative AI and Academic Integrity

The widespread application of Generative AI in academic contexts has caused waves of concern about its potential for misuse and the serious challenge it poses to academic integrity (Eke, 2023[i]; Stokel-Walker, 2022[ii]). In response, educational institutions are making efforts to uphold academic integrity while promoting safe and responsible use of Generative AI (e.g., UBC, n.d.[iii]; UCalgary, n.d.[iv]; Observatory on AI Policies in Canadian Post-Secondary Education[v])

In consultation with faculty and colleagues, the Centre for Teaching Excellence has created an updated list of recommendations and resources for faculty who are navigating this tricky path, including suggested wording for a syllabus. At its core, the list of recommendations follows the same values and principles that were identified from the outset – clear communication and transparency for students, an awareness of the ethical and moral considerations and a curiosity about the ethical and responsible uses that might complement and enhance learning.
