Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity based on the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Practicing academic integrity means never plagiarizing or cheating, never misrepresenting yourself, never falsifying information, and never deceiving or compromising the work of others. This means, either intentionally or unintentionally, using the words or ideas of someone else without giving credit, it’s strictly forbidden.
