Inappropriate or Unauthorized Use of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful and valuable tool in education and, as such, must be used with caution and discernment. Students may use any artificial intelligence tool which is provided by the university for their benefit. Artificial intelligence may not be used to generate content that is presented as original work assigned to the student, nor may it be used to substantially modify existing work to the extent that it no longer reflects the student’s own words or voice. Additionally, students may not use AI to circumvent assigned readings.
Students are required to cite any use of artificial intelligence in any coursework. Further, students may be required to submit any prompts and responses created using artificial intelligence for assigned coursework. For appropriate use of artificial intelligence, students are to refer to and abide by the most recent version of Richmont Graduate University’s Best Practices for Use of Artificial Intelligence at Richmont Graduate University. When in doubt about the appropriate use of AI, students should consult with their professors. Of particular importance, students must exercise extreme caution and wisdom when considering the use of AI in relation to any clinical cases, ensuring that no personal, identifying, or confidential client information is ever shared with AI tools. Professors may choose to disallow or restrict the use of artificial intelligence at their discretion.
