Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools – Chat GPT

The media and higher education press have recently carried a number of stories about ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence text generation tool, and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools. We anticipate that students will use these tools in class unless specifically instructed by you. We would like to share a list of resources to introduce AI tools, their implications, and strategies to use them or prevent their misuse in the classroom:

1. Booth ChatGPT Introduction Page by Booth IT (requires CNet ID login)
2. Combating Academic Dishonesty by Academic Technology Solutions
3. Would ChatGPT 3 Get A Wharton MBA? A Wharton Faculty Example
4. Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence Apps by the University of Calgary Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning

It is important to communicate clear expectations for academic integrity and remind Booth Honor Code both in the course syllabus and during the first class. Some other considerations in addition to the ones listed in the resources above may include reconsidering written assignments such as papers, case write-ups, discussion posts, etc.:

• Require students to include references to class materials, class discussions, and lecture notes
• Ask students to provide a connection to a current event or news in the field
• Include images, graphics, or charts in written assignments that students need to respond to or refer to
• Ask students to include charts, diagrams, concept maps, etc. in their papers or responses

Below is an example of how to address ChatGPT in your syllabus, courtesy of Prof. Gregory Bunch¹:

Be aware of the limits of AI, and ChatGPT in particular:

• If you provide minimum effort prompts, you will get low quality results. You will need to refine your prompts in order to get good outcomes. This will take work.
• Don’t trust anything it says. If it gives you a number or fact, assume that it is wrong unless you either know the answer or can check it in another more trustworthy source. You will be responsible for any errors or omissions provided by the tool. It works best for topics you understand.
• AI is a tool, but one that you need to acknowledge using. Please include a paragraph at the end of any assignment that uses AI explaining what you used the AI for and what prompts you used to get the results. Failure to do so is violation of the honor code.

If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss strategies for preventing the misuse of ChatGPT among other AI tools, please contact Instructional.Design@ChicagoBooth.edu.
