Academic Integrity Statement
The academic integrity policy and standards upheld by Beneath the Surface AU.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) within academia and teaching spaces is becoming increasingly significant. It is imperative for those of us that are teaching to be open and transparent about the use of AI and LLMs, so individual learners can be informed about the perspectives, insights, and pedagogy they are being delivered.
It is my personal belief that those who teach, or include AI-generated content, should inform their learners what content has been produced with AI, and to what extent and/or what percentage.
