Other information
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with academic and scientific integrity practices. Scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, so the use of AI must always be disclosed. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly prohibited will be considered cheating, particularly for the writing of papers submitted by students. In this course, AI may not be used to summarize articles, search for bibliographic references, or prepare exam questions. For language assistance, other tools should be preferred: these will be presented in class.
