AI Guidelines

While the fundamentals of teaching and learning have not changed, we understand that students must be prepared to lead in an AI-infused world. Generative AI may be used to enhance student learning in a variety of ways, ranging from summarization to problem-solving.  The Poorvu Center works with students to prioritize their learning while experimenting with available AI tools and understanding how best to use those tools in compliance with individual course policies and guidelines.  

Using a collaborative approach, the Poorvu Center engages with faculty and students in discussions around AI with a focus on learning from each other as we chart a path forward.  We work with faculty to help evolve curricula to incorporate discussions around AI into course content and provide resources and guidance to assist in making informed decisions about whether or not to infuse AI in their teaching.   

Yale is positioned to lead in the exploration of AI’s ethical and societal impacts, and the Poorvu Center embraces the opportunity to lead discussions around the use of AI in teaching and learning.  The University is committed to investing in AI technology and resources to assist students, faculty, and staff engage with the technology using a critical lens to explore its benefits and limitations.  Only then can we make educated and informed decisions about whether or not to incorporate its use in the classroom and beyond.
