Artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving field and there are now multiple programs (e.g., ChatGPT and Bard) that can interact with users via “natural” conversations and rapidly generate output including art, essays, and computer code. Programs such as these will continue to evolve and be utilized in professional settings, and you can and should become familiar with them in the course of your undergraduate studies. At the same time, in-demand employees are those who have skills (to not use an AI when doing so would expose proprietary information to the creator of the AI, to debug AI-generated code when it doesn’t get it quite right, to modify output from AI for subtly different use cases, to perform tasks independent of AI when appropriate…) and the clarity of thought and ability to communicate effectively and effortlessly. Your college education is a time to develop these abilities and using AI as a crutch can hinder that process. So, in this course, you should not use AI in any of your work. Doing so without the express permission of the instructor will be considered a breach of academic honesty. Any submitted work may be subject to an oral examination.
