Artificial intelligence is everywhere and with it comes new opportunities and challenges.
As these new platforms evolve so must the way instructors, TAs and students use them. Given the rapid pace of change and growth in artificial intelligence - this issue will be ongoing for the foreseeable future.
At present, it is important for instructors to be explicit about whether artificial intelligence or tools like ChatGPT are allowed to be used to complete assignments, tests or exams, and if so, the extent to which it is allowed, and if it should be cited and how to cite it. A student who does not comply with the instructors rules about the use of such tools will be subject to Policy 71 and an investigation into academic misconduct.
A memo from the Associate Vice-President, Academic about Chat GPT (and other AI tools) can be found here.
FAQ for Instructors and TAs can be found here. Wiley has also put out a publication on AI in Higher Education: Current Uses and Future Applications which can be found here.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
