As we step further into an era dominated by technological advancements, it's crucial to understand how these changes affect not just our learning environments but also our commitment to academic integrity becomes essential.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), including tools like ChatGPT, AI-based calculators, and others, are reshaping the way we learn, research, and complete academic tasks.
At IMC, we encourage staff, students, and administration to engage with AI, establishing fundamental principles to guide its responsible, beneficial, and ethical usage throughout the organization.
Understand Academic Integrity in the Age of AI
What is AI?
AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn like humans. This technology can assist in various tasks, from simple calculations to generating complex reports or inventive content.
What is Academic Integrity?
Academic integrity involves upholding ethical standards in all aspects of your academic work. This means avoiding plagiarism, cheating, and any form of dishonest behaviour.
AI and Plagiarism
While AI can help generate ideas and provide information, submitting AI-created content as your own, without proper acknowledgment, or depending on it for critical thinking tasks, not only destroys your learning process but also contravenes academic integrity policies. Be aware that Turnitin includes an AI detector for assignments. Any undisclosed or unapproved use of generative AI by students in preparing assignments is considered "cheating."
What you should do to maintain your academic integrity
Attribution: Always credit the source of your information, including any AI tools you use.
Understand your assignment criteria: It is crucial to thoroughly read and comprehend your assignment criteria. Ensure that you fully grasp them and craft your assignment following these guidelines and standards.
Critical Thinking: Enrich and craft your own analysis and insight for your academic work.
Consult: Should you have any uncertainties about using AI tools, consult your lecturers to mitigate any risks.
At IMC, we advocate for the responsible use of AI. (Notice that, like other institutions, we have provided students with free access to the AI writing and language tool, Grammarly.) We are committed to leveraging the power of AI to enhance your academic journey, simultaneously upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. Our support is geared towards helping you navigate this evolving landscape with a focus on ethics and a commitment to excellence in your educational endeavours
