This information is not considered complete or exhaustive.

Data privacy & usage

  • Respect privacy: Don't input data about others that you wouldn't want shared about yourself.

  • Opt-out: Avoid sharing data for AI learning when possible.

  • Informed consent: Get user consent before using generative AI. Users must be informed about how their data is being used and have the option to opt-out or delete their data.

Emerging technology

  • Secure meetings: Avoid risky third-party bots and integrations. They may scrape calendars, transcribe or record meetings and save data in unknown places.

Promoting discourse

  • Positive contributions: Discuss how AI can help achieve goals.

  • Ethical issues: Talk about ethical concerns and limitations of AI.

Generating content

  • Content creation: Cite generative AI use transparently.

  • Refer to policies: Follow discipline-specific journal, publisher and professional group policies.

Responsible Use

Learn with integrity

Use AI to enhance studies, not to bypass academic responsibilities.

Be respectful

Use AI to support learning, not to violate privacy and confidentiality.

Promote fairness

Ensure that AI tools are used in ways that do not perpetuate bias or discrimination.

Be transparent 

Clearly disclose when and how AI tools helped with your content.

Own your work

Be responsible for verifying AI-generated information and ensure the originality of submissions.

Encourage collaboration

Ensure that use promotes collective learning and mutual support rather than individual advantage.
