Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing rapidly and is fast becoming a feature of our day-to-day lives in the websites and software we use.

There is currently much debate about the use of Generative AI Large Language Model (LLM) tools such as ChatGPT in Higher Education and how these impact on assessments and academic integrity.

AI tools can be useful to support your learning, for example to help inspire ideas and find information quickly. However, if you are thinking about using them to help with an assignment, there are some important things to think about before you do.

The Skills Centre has produced a video guide setting out nine key points and questions to consider to help you use AI tools confidently and responsibly in your work.

You can also find some useful tips in the following blog:

How to navigate Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools with confidence and integrity.

The module includes the following interactive learning resources:

• GenAI Prompts: learn how to produce effective prompts for GenAI and techniques to refine and improve GenAI responses, optimising them for academic needs.

• GenAI Information Literacy: explore the strengths, limitations, and ethical considerations associated with GenAI and how best to use it without compromising academic integrity.

• GenAI Critical Thinking and Evaluation: develop analytical skills to critically evaluate GenAI-generated content, distinguishing meaningful insights from inaccurate data.

• GenAI Ethics: explore the key ethical implications relating to truth, privacy, and environmental impact.

• GenAI Bias: develop a critical awareness of biases in generative AI systems and human users when interacting with the systems.

• GenAI Data Privacy and Security: develop insights into the data privacy and security considerations of GenAI systems, including ethical data collection practices, secure data storage protocols, and responsible data sharing procedures.

The University's Code of Practice on Academic Integrity, Academic Integrity statement and procedures for dealing with Academic misconduct have been reviewed to include the use of Generative AI tools.

You can find more support on the Academic Integrity Training and Test webpages.

The Library has updated the Referencing guide: Harvard Bath.

Separate guidance for staff on the use of Generative AI at the University is available on the Learning & Teaching Hub @Bath.
