Today's research landscape has a mix of AI tools that are purpose built for research and other multipurpose tools that support research.
Regardless of the tools available, it's vital to remember that not all instructors accept the use of AI tools in their classrooms and you must have a clear understanding of your instructor's expectations before engaging with AI. If you don't, you risk academic misconduct.
Review the Artificial Intelligence (AI) guide for more information.
For every assignment and test, ask your instructor what their expectations are with respect to AI use. If you are unsure whether use of this tool (or what specific use) is allowed in your course, reach out to your instructor.
Experiment with AI tools to better understand what they can and cannot do. Take the time to critically analyze the output. (Sometimes it looks great on the surface, but not when you look more deeply at the content. These tools are great synthesizers, but the critical thinker is you.)
Review JIBC's Academic Integrity policy and understand what constitutes academic misconduct. More examples of academic misconduct can be found on the Library's Academic Integrity webpage.
If you are allowed to use AI and include quotes or paraphrased information in you assignment, you must cite the information in APA format.
Read the Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Suggestions for Students guide to understand appropriate and inappropriate uses of generative AI technology.
