NOTE: 

Mintel works best when you have your own account. The platform does not allow us to download complete reports to send to users. You will want to visit the site and create an account so you can save searches, download information, create presentations, and work with the Databooks. You will need to use your umich email address to create the account, however you should create a password specifically for use with Mintel.

If you wish to by-pass the AI search experience on the HOME Leap tab and view the full reports, use the INSIGHTS Expert Analysis tab. The ANALYTICS Consumer Data tab provides access to the Consumer Databooks.

Guidance on Use of AI Tools and Library Licensed Resources

Content from the electronic resources licensed by the Kresge Library, U-M University Library and other library entities on campus are governed by terms of use set out in individual vendor agreements which provide limitations on their use. In general, the terms of use governing licensed content do not make allowances for sharing content with third parties. Uploading content into an AI service or platform could be considered a violation of these terms of service. 

Following guidance from the University Library, the Kresge Library suggests that you use University supported AI tools, such as U-M GPT, U-M Maizey, or other University AI services, when working with library licensed materials in order to reduce your risk of violating licensing terms of service. 

If you have a need for larger scale AI analysis using licensed Library resources, we encourage you to reach out to us at kresge_library@umich.edu to discuss your research needs and ensure compliance with existing licensing agreements.

Ross Office of Action-Based Learning (OABL) AI and Machine Learning Policy

The following is an updated version of the AI and Machine Learning Policy. Thanks to additional input from faculty, we have worked to clarify the use and incorporation of AI tools into MAP research and deliverables. You can also view this updated language in your syllabus:

"If you use any advanced automated tools (artificial intelligence and/or machine learning tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Dall-E, etc.) in any way during MAP, that use must be agreed upon with the sponsor in the Letter of Engagement. 

In addition, OABL requires that students cite any AI-generated material that informed their work. Students should indicate how AI tools informed their process and the final product, include representative prompts, and describe how they validated any AI-generated citations or other sources. Overall, AI use that advances the learning objectives of MAP, in particular, student professional development, aligns with the spirit of our requirements."
