You have the ability to decide if and what your students can use regarding Artificial Intelligence tools. Here are some samples you can use, copy, or modify for your syllabus. Language was completely copied and pasted from Gemini.google.com 😁
For Students
For Students
These are the draft guidelines we will be sending students and parents regarding our stance on the general use of AI in the building. However, teachers may change their stance within their own classroom and decide how much to use or not use it.
General Guidelines
General Guidelines
AI should be used as an aide / helper, not to present ideas that aren't yours.
Check with your teachers to see what their stance is - every teacher will be different.
AI could contain misinformation or bias, be careful about believing everything to be true. Sometimes the results are completely incorrect so you need to check other sources of information, like the databases that the library provides. AI does not have access to every single published work, and may not contain all the facts that have been researched.
Be aware of the privacy policy of the tool you are using. Not all sites protect your data.

Aiding Creativity
Students can harness generative AI to spark creativity across diverse subjects, including writing, visual arts, and music composition.
Collaboration
Generative AI tools can partner with students in group projects by contributing concepts, supplying research support (getting you started with general knowledge on a topic or help you narrow down topics), and identifying relationships between varied information. T
Communication
AI can offer students real-time translation, personalized language exercises, and interactive dialogue simulations.
Content Creation and Enhancement
AI can help generate personalized study materials, summaries, quizzes, and visual aids, help students organize thoughts and content, and help review content.
Tutoring
AI technologies have the potential to democratize one-to-one tutoring and support, making personalized learning more accessible to a broader range of students. AI-powered virtual teaching assistants may provide non-stop support, answer questions, help with homework, and supplement classroom instruction.
Prohibited Uses
Prohibited Uses
Plagiarism
As stated in your student handbook, plagiarism is not acceptable. Plagiarism is when you use others' ideas and present them as your own. AI generated content is not your own and should not be presented as such. Always give credit to the person that wrote it, even if it's paraphrased and even if it's from AI!
Citation
Anything created or used from AI generated content/materials should be cited as such just as you would cite other sources like journal articles, websites, and books.
Bullying/harassment
Using AI tools to manipulate media to impersonate others for bullying, harassment, or any form of intimidation is strictly prohibited. All users are expected to employ these tools solely for educational purposes, upholding values of respect, inclusivity, and academic integrity at all times.
Don't Depend on it
Relying too much on AI tools can make us less careful thinkers. We might start accepting what the AI tells us without really checking if it's correct or if it includes everything important.
Teachers will be in charge of deciding if and how AI tools can be used in the classroom. They'll also make sure that you always double-check anything created by AI before using it for schoolwork.
Sometimes AI tools are great for getting ideas or helping with basic tasks. However, it's important to remember that AI can make mistakes. AI programs don't understand everything the way a human does. That's why your teachers want to make sure you're the one using the AI and not the other way around!
If you have any questions about how you are using AI for schoolwork, don't hesitate to ask your teachers.
Concerns
Concerns
Bias and Misinformation
AI tools trained on human data will inherently reflect societal biases and misinformation in the data. Risks include reinforcing stereotypes, recommending inappropriate educational interventions, or making discriminatory evaluations, such as falsely reporting plagiarism by non-native English speakers. Staff and students will be taught to understand the origin and implications of societal bias in AI, AI tools will be evaluated for the diversity of their training data and transparency, and humans will review all AI-generated outputs before use.
In addition to generating content that is biased, discriminatory, or misleading, AI models can also generate content that has factual errors or statements that are demonstrably incorrect. This phenomenon is referred to as "AI hallucination." Hallucinations are incorrect results that AI models generate based on their training data that are presented as fact. This phenomenon has been observed in all widely used large language models, which underscores the need to fact check or source AI generated content.
Safety, Security, and Privacy Concerns
We will implement reasonable security measures to secure AI technologies against unauthorized access and misuse. All AI systems deployed within the school will be evaluated for compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including those related to data protection, privacy, and students’ online safety. For example, providers will make it clear when a user is interacting with an AI versus a human.
Staff and students are prohibited from entering confidential or personally identifiable information into unauthorized AI tools, such as those without approved data privacy agreements. Sharing confidential or personal data with an AI system could violate privacy if not properly disclosed and consented to.
