Generative Artificial Intelligence Guidelines

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is committed to preparing the next generation of researchers with integrity and ethical awareness. As generative artificial intelligence (GAI) becomes increasingly integrated into research, teaching, and communication, it is essential to use these tools responsibly.

Our guidance emphasizes transparency, faculty involvement, and ethical use in scholarly work. It addresses key concerns such as authorial consent, intellectual property, and academic integrity, ensuring that GAI supports research rather than replacing the critical insight and creativity of human scholars.

Additional University Guidance

For further guidance across other areas of campus, see:

Division of Academic Affairs: Guidance on GAI in the Classroom – Practical resources for instructors on scope, purpose, and classroom use of AI.
Office of Distance Learning: AI Tools & Use – Strategies for encouraging or limiting AI use in digital learning environments.
Office of Communications & Marketing: AI Guidelines – Principles and examples of acceptable and prohibited uses of AI in communications.

GAI can enhance research, teaching, and communication—but it cannot replicate human creativity, insight, or judgment. These guidelines help ensure that AI is used ethically and effectively, paired with expertise and integrity.
