This research guide serves as a starting point for exploring the rapidly evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a focus on generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLMs). As you navigate this guide, keep in mind that AI is a dynamic field, with new technologies, tools, and applications emerging constantly. While this guide offers a solid foundation, it’s important to supplement your learning with up-to-date research and developments.

As you consider using AI in your academic work, always follow your instructor’s guidelines. Generative AI tools can assist with certain tasks, but their appropriate use varies by course, assignment, and instructor expectations. When in doubt, check with your instructor. Every class may have different expectations, and your instructor is the best person to clarify if, when, and how AI tools can be used responsibly in your assignments.

➡️Using AI tools in ways that violate your instructor’s policies or misrepresent your work can be considered a form of academic dishonesty or plagiarism.
