Academic honesty/integrity statement:

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy. According to the Georgia Tech Student Affairs Code of Conduct, plagiarism “[includes] submission of material that is wholly or substantially identical to that created or published by another person or persons, without adequate credit notations indicating the authorship.”[1] It is the act of appropriating the work of another, or parts of passages of his or her writings, or language or ideas of the same, and passing them off as a product of one’s own. It involves the deliberate or accidental use of any outside source without proper acknowledgment. Plagiarism is scholarly misconduct whether it occurs in any work, published or unpublished, or in any application for funding. Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarism will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty. This policy includes students whose papers are flagged as having been AI generated. The GT Honor Code is available online (http://policylibrary.gatech.edu/student-affairs/academic-honor-code)

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools:

You may use generative AI programs, e.g. ChatGPT, to help generate ideas and brainstorm. You should be aware that the material generated by these programs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or otherwise problematic. Also, use of these tools may stifle your own independent thinking and creativity.

Generative AI derives its output from previously created texts from other sources that the models were trained on yet doesn't cite sources. Per Ga Tech's Honor Code, you may not submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. If you include material generated by an AI program, it should be cited like any other reference material (with due consideration for the quality of the reference, which may be poor). When/if you use AI platforms in your assignments, please write a note to clarify where in your process you used AI, include the prompt used to generate the material, and which platform(s) you used. See this article for how to cite AI properly: How to cite ChatGPT https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to-cite-chatgpt
