In light of these challenges, the Office of Research &amp; Grants provides the following guidelines on the use of generative AI in the scholarly endeavors of faculty, staff, and students. These guidelines summarize the guidance provided by a variety of colleges and universities and are centered on four critical areas related to the use of AI in research. They are intended to supplement those guidelines provided in A Report on Generative AI prepared by The Citadel\u2019s Provost-Appointed Generative AI Taskforce in February 2024. When considering the use of generative AI in scholarly work, keep in mind that faculty, staff, and students are ultimately responsible and accountable for the accuracy of any content produced by the use of such tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/ai-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/219\/RP-11-Use-of-Generative-AI-in-Research.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:900px\" aria-label=\"Embed of RP 11 - Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI in Research.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e3f2da10-f9c5-46e0-921e-72a38e0acb4e\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/ai-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/219\/RP-11-Use-of-Generative-AI-in-Research.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RP 11 &#8211; Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI in Research<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/ai-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/219\/RP-11-Use-of-Generative-AI-in-Research.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e3f2da10-f9c5-46e0-921e-72a38e0acb4e\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI in Research Generative Artificial Intelligence technology, or generative AI, offers opportunities to assist in student learning, enhance faculty scholarly activity and contribute broadly to scientific discovery, while simultaneously presenting significant challenges related to information security, data privacy, authorship attribution, and the introduction of machine-based biases which can undermine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-80","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI in Research - AI for Teaching and Learning<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Review The Citadel\u2019s guidelines for using generative AI in research.
