The use of Generative AI such as ChatGPT, Scribe, Bard, Dall-E, Synthesia, Copilot, etc., introduces a range of new ethical questions. At Loyola, you should only use Generative AI tools with permission from your instructor, and in doing so, clearly note which content has been generated by AI and which content represents your own work, ideas, and creativity.
Using Generative AI in your work without permission or disclosure is considered a breach of academic integrity and possibly plagiarism.
The ethical implications of Generative AI go beyond simple plagiarism. These tools may also be damaging to the environment and harmful to workers. Before you make a decision on if and when to use AI tools, educate yourself on how these tools function and what impacts they have on our communities.
