Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become commonplace in many domains. These tools allow for users to supply prompts to a computer algorithm that generates automated responses based on a repository of accumulated information and data. The AI-generated responses come from an underlying probabilistic model that has been trained by data coming from public and private online data sources, as well as human input as to the usefulness of past responses. One of the early generative AI tools is OpenAI’s ChatGPT, although newer tools that provide similar or expanded functionalities also fall under these same guidelines.
GPS has developed comprehensive guidelines for graduate students on using generative AI in research. These guidelines offer clear guidance on how and when generative AI tools (for example, ChatGPT) can be used, along with their limitations. These guidelines are research-focused, not course-based.
