This page lists out the policies all participants are expected to adhere to as part of our REU.
TBD following approval.
We understand that AI use is still being debated and that there are many different perspectives on its use in both academia and industry.
However, the policies for both mentors and students are as follows:
There must exist an AI disclaimer in any and all disseminated outcomes, including if no AI was used. This includes papers, repositories, etc.
Your words must be your own. AI-generated writing is expressly forbidden, unless if it is used to check grammar or spelling. Even then, it must be thoroughly reviewed, edited, and attributed prior to submission.
If you intend to use AI to serve as a “peer reviewer” for a paper or other artifact then a local model is required to be used. No artifacts are allowed to be uploaded into a private model (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, etc.).
