In this course, you may use generative AI tools for select in-class work and take-home coursework, if you choose, according to the following guidelines.

You may use generative AI tools for [specify allowable assignment types, e.g., homework assignments, problem sets, projects/papers, and exam prep], but not on [specify not allowable assignment types, e.g., for in-class exercises, on exams or quizzes]. [May parallel the categories given in and/or refer to the Course Policies and Norms form.] [Instead of specifying assignment types here, include: Refer to the Course Policies and Norms form for the assignment types on which AI tools are allowed.] It is your responsibility to avoid becoming dependent on AI tools in your learning such that you are unable to master the course goals, which [always/sometimes] require you to complete tasks and demonstrate skills without the use of AI tool assistance. [May explain additional allowances for using AI tools, e.g., you may use AI tools to help you understand and digest challenging readings but not on exams, which test your understanding by asking you to apply those concepts to new contexts.]

Guidelines for use:

• Review and follow the guidelines provided in Stanford IT’s resource on Responsible AI at Stanford and check the fine print terms before signing up for an AI tool. When using a generative AI tool, UIT has advised the Stanford community to avoid inputting information that should not be made public. This includes personal or confidential information of your own or that others share with you, as well as proprietary or copyrighted materials ([include relevant material types for your course: e.g., case studies, data sets, assignment prompts]) that may be included in your coursework. Information you enter into a generative AI tool may be shared with third parties, and the tool may use your prompts or questions to inform content generated for other users.

[Optional: Select one or more additional guidelines for use from the list below, according to what applies for your course. Highlighted text should be edited to fit your course policies.]

• In this course, you will work with [sensitive / copyrighted / personal] data, including [include examples from your course, such as data sets, case studies, or interview transcripts]. While you may use AI tools to support some of your coursework, you may not input this data into an AI tool, according to the guidelines provided in Responsible AI at Stanford. [May include additional explanation or examples, e.g., For example, you may not input the data (or materials, etc.) or content referencing the data directly into an AI tool, although you may use AI tools to support your work in other ways (e.g., brainstorm interview questions, develop ideas for a marketing campaign, or review how to conduct a regression analysis).] 
• Cite all AI-generated material and/or explain how you have drawn on AI-generated material in your work. Please cite AI-generated content using [MLA style / APA style / Chicago style] formatting [or explain your preferred method of citing content, e.g., include a short paragraph with each assignment explaining how you used generative AI tools / attach a copy of the chatbot conversation or other prompting that helped you produce assignment material].
• Be prepared to fact-check and critically evaluate all AI-generated information. [May include additional explanation, e.g., Most AI chatbots aren’t designed to write sentences that are true — they are designed to write sentences that are plausible. Many AI tools get their training sets and information from the internet and can’t make judgements about the information they draw on.] Generative AI tools can provide false information (called ‘hallucinations’), perpetuate biases and/or stereotypes, or draw on copyrighted information without proper attribution, and such problematic information is often presented very convincingly. The materials these tools generate does not necessarily meet the standards of this course.
