In response to these concerns, many faculty are wondering how they can identify student use of Generative AI. Yet, there is ample evidence that AI detection simply does not work: the software is unreliable<https://www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-innovation/artificial-intelligence…> and its use raises ethical and equity concerns<https://citl.news.niu.edu/2024/12/12/ai-detectors-an-ethical-minefield/> due to its errors, false positives, and/or biases (e.g. against non-native English speakers<https://hai.stanford.edu/news/ai-detectors-biased-against-non-native-englis…>, Black students<https://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/research/report/2024-t…>, and neurodiverse students<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-10-18/do-ai-detectors-work-stu…>). We encourage faculty to explore ways to support students to be informed and responsible in their relationship to Generative AI. Below are a few resources that offer guidance around setting clear expectations with your students through dialogue with students, course policies, and other methods; assignment design and assessment approaches that engage with the realities of Generative AI; and other strategies to address some of the questions that the growth of Generative AI opens up for us as teachers and learners: * AI Detectors Don’t Work, Here’s What to Do Instead.<https://mitsloanedtech.mit.edu/ai/teach/ai-detectors-dont-work/> (MIT) * AI Responsible Use: for instructors<https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/sites/default/files/2024-05/AI%20Responsible%20Us…> (CUNY John Jay) * My Students Are Submitting AI Papers, Here’s What I Do<https://www.techlearning.com/news/my-student-was-submitting-ai-papers-heres…> by Erik Ofgang * Teach@CUNY AI Toolkit<https://aitoolkit.commons.gc.cuny.edu/course-policies/> (CUNY Graduate Center) * Teaching with (or without) AI<https://www.carleton.edu/writing/resources-for-faculty/working-with-ai/> (Carleton College) If you would like additional resources or support, please go to our website<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/ai-resources/> or contact CETLL (ctlonline(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:ctlonline@qc.cuny.edu?subject=&body=>).
