It is impossible to avoid the growing landscape of articles and news coverage about the rise of AI generative tools like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Bard, and more. In response to concerns about cheating and plagiarism, many higher education institutions have published policies to regulate students’ use of these tools, ranging from prescriptive directions to all-out bans. To offer guidance to our faculty and students and encourage their ethical and responsible use of AI generative technology, the McGovern Center has authored a policy for its courses and programs.

Please note that UTHealth Houston and McGovern Medical School do not explicitly ban the use of AI generative tools, allowing individual departments to create policies applicable to their faculty and students. The McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics is committed to ethical and humanistic teaching, learning, practice, and research, and encourages the responsible use of these technologies while retaining one’s creativity.
