AI Quick Tips
Discuss academic integrity openly!
AI is not going anywhere, and it continues to evolve and improve at a rapid pace. As these tools become more integrated into academic and professional contexts, it is increasingly important to address them directly rather than avoid them.
Engaging students in open conversations about AI including its benefits, limitations, risks, and ethical considerations can help demystify how these technologies work and why responsible use matters.
These discussions create opportunities to clarify expectations, emphasize critical thinking, and establish a culture of trust and shared responsibility around AI use in the learning environment and beyond.
