Thoughtful and appropriate use of Generative AI
Generative AI tools, such as Microsoft Copilot, offer potential for enhancing learning and research.
To use GenAI tools thoughtfully and appropriately:
- Understand how GenAI works.
- Attribution: When using generative AI to create content, acknowledge its contribution. Provide proper attribution just as you would cite a book or a research paper.
- Originality: Use generative AI as a supplement, not a replacement. Combine its output with your own ideas and insights to create original work.
- Critical evaluation: Evaluate the quality and relevance of AI-generated content. Don’t blindly accept everything it produces—apply your critical thinking skills.
- Ethical use: Avoid using generative AI to deceive or plagiarise. Uphold academic integrity by adhering to UOW's guidelines.
Remember, GenAI is powerful, but use it responsibly to ensure its positive impact on education and research.
