As AI tools become more common, setting clear classroom procedures and expectations for their use is imperative. Without communicated guidance, students can easily confuse responsible use with academic dishonesty. Since every teacher has a different definition of where "help" ends and "cheating" begins, being upfront about your expectations prevents students from accidentally crossing the line. You remain the expert in the room; you decide exactly how and when these tools are used to ensure they support, rather than replace, genuine learning.
