Using AI with integrity

AI tools are good at a few helpful things: explaining a concept in plainer terms, suggesting an essay structure for you to react to, breaking a big task into steps, or turning your own notes into practice questions. Used in that way, they are a real support. This is also the area where it is easiest to slip up, so the limits matter more here than anywhere else on the page. AI sounds confident even when it is wrong and will invent things, so check anything important against a real source. AI systems should never be given any confidential data or copyrighted readings. Submitting AI-written text as your own breaks the rules, and it means you have not learned the material yourself. Learn about AI before you use it and demonstrate your integrity in use.
