Responsible Use of Generative AI

Check with your instructor before using AI:

Always ask your instructor or consult your course outline to confirm:

  • Whether AI tools are allowed

  • To what extent they may be used

  • How your use of AI should be documented or cited

Instructors may have additional or alternative requirements, so review assignment instructions carefully before you begin.

Important Notes When Using AI

  • Always verify AI-generated information and any sources it produces.

  • AI tools may:

    • generate inaccurate, oversimplified, or exaggerated information and summaries

    • fabricate citations or sources (“hallucinations”)

    • recommend promotional or low-quality websites as reliable sources

  • Consultation with the GB Library's guide on Responsible Use of Generative AI is recommended to understand key terms, how to evaluate outputs, academic integrity, harm considerations, and copyright. 

  • Please note uploading library e-resources to GenAI tools is not permitted and may constitute copyright infringement. Please refer to our Copyright Best Practices for more details.
