Generative AI: Understanding and Using Tools Like ChatGPT Effectively and Ethically


 

DMU recognises that some generative AI tools can help develop academic skills. However, using the output produced by generative AI tools as if it was your own would be in direct contravention of DMU Academic Integrity and Misconduct Policy. See DMU's Academic Integrity website for developing good academic practice skills and the using AI ethically section for advice and guidance.

 

What is Generative AI?

AI tools are very powerful and it is important to use them ethically. In an education setting, this means using them with academic integrity and within the expectations set by the university. You need to ask yourself whether you are using AI tools to do the thinking for you or simply to assist you in thinking better. If you have been permitted to use AI tools in your work there are ways to acknowledge and referencing their use.
