AI and coursework
Use of artificial intelligence (AI), unless specifically directed by the instructor as part of the assignment/syllabus, is considered a violation of CSU Student Conduct Code, under Plagiarism/Cheating (1.a-c).
A student who is producing any writing or information they did not create on their own, without their own mind, is the definition of submitting a false document.
To learn more about academic integrity, visit the Office of Student Conduct website.
Appropriate use guidelines
SFSU is currently in the process of producing guidelines for use of generative AI in student work.
More information coming soon.
SF State is committed to the responsible and effective use of generative artificial intelligence (genAI). To better prepare campus programming, training and resources, we want to hear from you, whether or not you use genAI.
The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete. Please share your honest thoughts.
Coming soon.
