Are students allowed to use ChatGPT and other AI Tools?
Check with your lecturer first! And follow the guidance from your lecturers. Some lecturers will allow the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, while other will not allow the use of such tools.
Artificial intelligence should be viewed as a tool that can aid learning and should be used in an ethical way. Do not copy word-for-word or claim any AI-generated content as your own work. This is plagiarism.
AI Use Disclosure Statement
The EMS Faculty recommends that AI use be declared, and it includes a student declaration form, that requires an indication of the AI tools used, as well as where and what it were used for, and a justification for claims that the work is the student’s own.
Accountability (including the ideas of acknowledgement and attribution)
You are responsible for what you create and how it impacts others and society. AI tools don't have accountability. It is thus your responsibility to ensure that work submitted under your name is factually correct.
Authenticity
You may use AI tools to assist where relevant, but not to complete the assignment on your behalf.
Fairness
Your use of AI tools/ systems should be ethical and responsible and should comply with academic integrity standards
Transparency
You should clearly and honestly declare the use of AI tools and their outputs as well as the extent of the use.
