| DEFINITIONS |
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI): Creates new content like text, images, audio, or code based data it’s been trained on. It’s like a creative machine (EX: ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot, etc.) Predictive Artificial Intelligence (PAI): Makes predictions based Algorithm: A set of instructions the AI follows to learn and generate content. Think of it as a recipe for creativity. Training Data: The information the AI learns from such as books, pictures, or code. It’s like giving the AI building blocks for its creations. Responsible Use: Using GenAI tools in a way that is ethical, legal, and respectful of others. Prompt/Prompting: User-generated instructions for a GenAI tool to |
| POTENTIAL USES IN THE CLASSROOM FOR STUDENTS |
Below are guidelines on how you might use AI for learning. Make sure to ask your teacher how much you are allowed to use AI, because it might be more than what has been outlined below. Note: If AI use is permitted, you must always complete the “finalizing stage” below. | |
| CONTINUUM OF USE WITH AI | PERMITTED USE | |
| No Use | GenAI may not be used for academic tasks in any form, and the use of such tools is strictly prohibited. | |
| Clarifying | GenAI may be used to gain clarity on academic content. | |
| Planning | GenAI may be used for the planning elements of academic tasks such as gaining inspiration, ideation, brainstorming, organizing, structuring, etc. | |
| Drafting | GenAI may be used for drafting the first version of work for an academic task. | |
| Revising | GenAI may be used to gain feedback for making improvements to the clarity or quality of work to improve the final product. | |
| Finalizing |
All submitted work by a student must either be original work or properly attributed to external sources, as stated by the academic Code of Conduct. This includes students acknowledging all instances in which GenAI tools were used in an academic task. Students should include the following language to attribute the use of AI: “I acknowledge the use of [Insert AI system(s) and link(s)] to [Explain specific use of GenAI]. The prompts used included [List of the prompts used]. The output from these prompts was used to [Explain use of output].” |
|
| PROHIBITED USES |
GenAI tools may NOT be used in violation of terms of service, academic Code of Conduct, or board policy. Specific examples might include: *Academic Misconduct: Such as plagiarism and cheating. *Harm: Such as bullying, harassment, or other outputs that might be a detriment to the student’s physical or mental health, including the use of “deep fakes” for images, voice, text, or other likenesses. |
| STUDENT CONSEQUENCES | 1st Occurrence (No Definitive Proof) |
1st Violation |
2nd and Subsequent Violations |
|
*Student is allowed to reassess or redo the assigned activity. *No penalty to the grade is applied. *Minor behavior referral is submitted to document the occurrence. |
*Student is allowed to reassess or redo the assigned activity. *Student may earn no more than a score of “2” of their earned score on the reassessment/redo. *Major behavior referral is submitted to document the occurrence. |
*Student is allowed to reassess or redo the assigned activity. *Student may earn no more than a score of “1” of their earned score on the reassessment/redo. *Major behavior referral is submitted to document the occurrence. |
|
| REVIEW | The student guidelines for GenAI will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as needed. |
| SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS |
Data Privacy & Security: Students should not input any personally identifiable information into any GenAI tools. Be Aware of Potential Bias: AI algorithms can reflect the biases present in the data they are trained on. Be critical of the outputs from GenAI tools as they are prone to generating made up information. |
