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."

Be sure to visit the Ross Community Values site to ensure that you are not plagiarizing other's work.
From the Ross Academic Honor Code:
Plagiarism is the misrepresentation of another person's ideas, writing, or analytical work as one's own. It includes not only text, exhibits, and appendices, but also nontextual materials such as drawings, photographs, diagrams, graphs, tables, spreadsheets, and computer programs. Plagiarism is not limited to hard-copy materials, but also includes Web content or content recorded on any form of media. The most obvious form of plagiarism is the verbatim presentation of another person's work without both quotation marks and a proper citation. Less-obvious forms of plagiarism include using definitions of words or historical information with no citation indicating the source, paraphrasing another's writing without proper citation, or presenting another person’s ideas or work as one's own rather than including a proper citation. In one way or another, each of these constitutes stealing another person’s ideas or work. Of course, many assignments involve research to find relevant information needed to help fulfill the requirements of the assignment. Plagiarism can be avoided by providing enough information about the source of the work, whether a hard-copy document or information found on the Web, to enable the reader to locate the original source and see the cited material in the context in which it was written.
