Using AI Responsibly for School

Responsible AI use comes down to five habits: disclosing when asked, verifying anything factual, protecting private information, keeping your own voice, and watching for bias and gaps. None of them take much extra time.

Disclose when asked

If an instructor asks how you used AI, say so plainly. Policies vary—check your course or instructor's rules. Concealment is the one thing no policy is likely to treat kindly.

Verify anything factual

Names, dates, formulas, quotes, and citations all need a second source. AI output is a draft, not a record.

Protect private information

Do not paste other people's personal data, ID numbers, or confidential documents into any AI tool, including this one.

Keep your voice

Use AI for structure and feedback, then write in your own words. Your voice is the part you are being assessed on.

Watch for bias and gaps

Models reflect their training data. On contested topics, read a primary source before you rely on a summary.
