Guidance

Highly capable Generative AI (GenAI) tools are now widely available and have been integrated into virtually all desktop and mobile applications.  Free access to frontier chatbot AI models is enabled for the entire BU community through TerrierGPT, and chat is the tip of the iceberg.  Students, faculty, and staff are using GenAI across the entire spectrum of academic and administrative activities, including writing, teaching, research, and in all forms of digital communication.  AIDA has issued and updated the following guidelines for members of our community.

We also very much welcome your feedback on these guidelines!
