๐คArtificial Intelligence
Research shows that students who are feeling stressed and working to tight deadlines are more likely to use Gen AI in an academically dishonest way, leading to procrastination and reduced academic performance (Abbas et al.).
As a principled learner, you should always use AI ethically and responsibly. Whenever a teacher gives you an assignment, they will give you clear guidelines about how you may use AI to complete the assignment. Some assignments may allow the use of AI, and some may not. When submitting work, always cite any AI-generated content that you have used using MLA, just as you would with any other sources. Failing to do so goes against VSA's Academic Honesty Policy, and may have serious consequences.
If a teacher has allowed you to use AI tools when completing an assessment, you must also
Include in-text citations and references as needed.
For some assignments, your teacher may also require that you include an appendix describing what AI tools you have used and for what purposes. They may also require additional information to be included, for example, screenshots and prompts.
