"BYU students should seek to be totally honest in their dealings with others. They should complete their own academic work, and be evaluated upon that work."
AI is a powerful tool that could be used to further the aims of a BYU education and augment learning. The sudden prominence of AI has led to many questions about when it is appropriate to use a AI service, including for academic purposes. BYU does not currently have any specific school-wide policies to define permissible AI use for assignments, tests, or other schoolwork. For general principles, please refer to the Academic Honesty Policy, Data Use, Privacy, and Security Policy and CES Honor Code.
Before using AI on an assignment, you must ask your professor for permission if they have not already explicitly stated that it is permitted. If the professor has not said anything about AI use for either the assignment or in the syllabus, assume that using AI is not permitted. For each class, the professor is the arbiter of academic integrity. Use them as your first recourse when determining what is acceptable or unacceptable for an assignment.
Some academic departments have specific policies, resources, or statements about the use of AI. The examples below contain information from various departments regarding the use of AI.
