I put this off until the very last minute, but I now have a generative AI statement for LAT 201. I'm sharing bc I have really appreciated seeing colleagues' examples (s/o @metalclassicist.bsky.social @thedancinggrad.bsky.social) & would like to contribute, but also bc I would love any feedback!
5. Generative AI is a powerful tool whose potential can be undermined by the harms it has caused and continues to cause (to the environment; by perpetuating racism, sexism, ableism, and other biases; by exploiting labor and intellectual property). Sometimes, it can be a useful study tool, while other times, it hinders the development of our own critical thinking skills (via hallucinations and misinformation). It is up to you to determine whether using generative AI in your daily life accords with your personal ethics; in this course, however, we will abide by some guidelines. - If you use generative AI, you must use Davidson’s licensed versions (Amplify, Google Gemini, and others), which protect our data from being scraped for training publicly-accessible models. - Your AI use must still follow the Honor Code, which means it must be clear whether work is generated by AI or by you. Passing off AI-generated work as your own constitutes plagiarism in this course. - You may use generative AI for clarification or explanation only after you have already consulted the dictionaries and grammars listed in our course resources. - You may use generative AI for formatting bibliographies for your projects. - You may not use generative AI to translate Latin or to parse or provide grammatical forms. You all have more experience with and understanding of generative AI than I do! Have you used it in the past in your Latin classes? How has it helped or hurt? I am open to reevaluating any of these guidelines after class discussion. If you are considering using generative AI in a way that is not listed here, or you are uncertain whether a usage would be allowed, please ask me! I strive to assume your best intentions, and an honest conversation is preferable to an ethically ambiguous decision. (Plus, I am happy to grant extensions!)
