ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT SBS
Your teacher has given explicit, written permission that you may use AI.
...AND you follow all their instructions about using and integrating AI.
At The Stony Brook School, our policy on using Artificial Intelligence is:
You may use AI in these conditions.
These uses MAY be appropriate under some conditions, but are not automatically acceptable.
CAUTION
You may not use AI in these situations at all.
Students are not allowed to submit work generated, in part or in whole, by ChatGPT or other Artificial Intelligence assistants without the expressed written permission of the instructor. Using such tools will be considered a violation of SBS's academic integrity policy and suspected use will be reported to the Dean of Students office.
- Chatting with AI as a resource about the topic, including copy-pasting the essay prompt.
- Asking AI to edit or review your own writing or data.
- Asking AI to summarize a data set, reading, or case.
- Using code or artwork generated by AI, either partially or fully.
- Asking AI to translate or reword a passage.
- Submitting work written partially or fully by AI.
- Submitting work influenced or informed by AI when your teacher has not given explicit, written permission for AI use in the assignment.
- Solving homework problems or questions using AI without understanding how it arrived at the answer.
You may use AI. Save your chat logs and plan to submit them. Be sure to cite the AI properly in your Works Cited page.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Speak to your teacher and clarify to what extent AI can be used. Save your AI chat logs and plan to submit and cite them. Do not use AI without the teacher’s written permission.
Though still a work in progress, The Stony Brook School developed this poster to post up in classrooms to guide students on different levels of acceptable AI usage. The "traffic light" framework is a popular one many schools have adopted.
