Proposed Harvard Code of Conduct

The proposal, developed collaboratively by Harvard students, faculty, and researchers, recommends course-specific policies for AI use rather than a blanket ban. It emphasizes the need for clear, written policies in all courses, regular policy reviews, and framing AI use within academic honesty expectations. The proposal suggests involving the Harvard College Honor Council, distinguishing between AI tool categories in policies, using AI detection tools cautiously, and providing educational resources. It also offers Canvas template policies for faculty, ranging from full AI use to complete prohibition, with guidelines for acknowledging and citing AI contributions in coursework. This initiative aims to address the rapid adoption of AI tools in education and promote responsible use at Harvard.
