Level	AI Use	Description	Guidelines
1	No AI Assistance	Assignments must be completed without AI assistance to ensure the student's individual knowledge and skills are demonstrated.	No AI tools are used at any point. Students rely solely on their knowledge and skills.
2	AI-Assisted Brainstorming	AI can be used for initial brainstorming and idea generation but not for creating the content of the submission.	AI tools can help generate ideas. Final content must be created by the student without direct AI input. AI assistance must be cited.
3	AI-Supported Drafting	AI may assist in drafting and structuring early versions of the work.	AI can help with drafting initial versions. The final version must be significantly revised by the student. Clear distinction between AI input and student's contributions. AI support must be transparent and cited.
4	AI Collaborative Creation	AI tools can be used in creating parts of the content, with the student actively refining and integrating AI contributions.	AI-generated content can be included. Student must critically evaluate and edit AI contributions. AI usage must be transparent and cited.
5	AI as Co-Creator	AI tools are used extensively, with the student guiding the creative process and ensuring the work meets academic standards.	Extensive use of AI in content creation. Student provides a rationale for AI use and ensures original thought. Work adheres to academic integrity with proper citations.

The levels of use below provide a comprehensive guideline for students, outlining the extent to which AI tools can be used in assignments, from no AI assistance to AI as a co-creator. This chart emphasizes the importance of student engagement, critical thinking, and the responsible use of AI in the learning process.

May I AI?

Remember to only use AI as an assist and not as a substitute for learning or fraudulent representation of learning. Using AI as an end-run around learning, is akin to building a house on a shaky foundation--it may appear sturdy at first, but it won’t hold up in the long run.
