Artificial Intelligence On Campus

Tufts University’s Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching recently published a document titled:

Developing Syllabus Statements for AI

which makes for an interesting read. Of particular interest to this website’s Managing Editor Jasper John MacKay was the suggested wording Tufts’ Provost and Senior Vice President provides for faculty members intent on prohibiting the use of Artificial Intelligence in a particular course:

“Since writing, analytical, and critical thinking skills are part of the learning outcomes of this course, we expect that all work students submit for this course will be their own. Additionally, students are not allowed to use any generative artificial intelligence tools (e.g. ChatGPT or Dall-E 2) at any stages of the work process, including preliminary ones. AI-generated submissions are not permitted and will be considered as plagiarism.” (Source: Tufts University.)

Props to Tufts for the above verbage.
