Artificial Intelligence (AI) Library Guide

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in academic life, offering support with writing, research, organization, and more. While these tools can be helpful, they also raise important questions about ethics, academic integrity, and responsible use.

This LibGuide provides a comprehensive overview of the ethical use of AI in academic settings. It includes guidance on key issues such as:

• Plagiarism and how to properly cite or disclose AI use
• Bias in AI-generated content and how to identify it
• The benefits and limitations of using AI tools
• University guidance on acceptable use in coursework and research
• Data security and privacy concerns when interacting with AI systems

Whether you're using AI to brainstorm, edit, or explore new ideas, it's important to understand your responsibilities as a student or researcher. This guide will help you make informed decisions and use AI in ways that align with the values of academic integrity and critical thinking.
