Harvard University, which banned ChatGPT in February, reversed its policy and began to introduce AI into teaching. Harvard realizes that blind prohibition cannot change the reality, and it should follow the trend of technology and integrate ChatGPT into education in a safe way to improve teaching efficiency and quality.
On September 2, Harvard University’s largest academic college, the College of Arts and Sciences, released guidelines for using generative AI such as ChatGPT in the classroom. Help teachers and students use generative AI products in a safe and reliable way.
As early as February this year, when ChatGPT became popular all over the world, Harvard University considered banning students from using the product.Because some Harvard students obtained the core arguments of the thesis through ChatGPT, and some directly entered the homework into ChatGPT to get the answers, which are all cheating behaviors。
With the rapid development and in-depth application of generative AI such as ChatGPT, Harvard realized that blind prohibition cannot change the reality. It should follow the trend of technology and integrate ChatGPT into education in a safe way to improve teaching efficiency and quality.
In order to prevent data leakage, user privacy and other issues, Harvard University has cooperated with technology companies to develop a tool called “AI Sandbox”, which can access many popular generative AI chat products and ensure that the data is safe and controllable , will not be collected by third parties for training AI models.
It is reported that the guide was issued by the Harvard Office of Undergraduate Education and builds on the “Harvard University-wide Artificial Intelligence Guide” released in July.The focus is on keeping non-public data safeteachers are required not to input students’ homework into the generative AI system to prevent data from being collected by third parties for AI training.
The guidance, however, has not been fully implemented across liberal arts colleges, and instead recommends that professors adopt three different approaches to the use of generative AI in their courses:Maximally restrictive policies, blanket incentive policies, and mixed approaches。
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Christopher W. Stubbs saidan important tenet of this guidance is that teachers provide students with a deep understanding of how the use of generative AI will affect their courses.
The following is a guide to using rudimentary generative AI published by Harvard.
What is Generative AI
Generative AI has learned anthropomorphic generation ability through pre-training and fine-tuning of massive data, and can automatically generate pictures, text, video, audio, code and other content according to text prompts.Harvard supports teachers, students in using generative AI for responsible experimentation and learning。
However, during use, important security factors such as data security and privacy, compliance, ethics, copyright, and academic integrity need to be kept in mind.
Protect confidential data
Confidential data (Level 2 and above, including non-public research data, financial, human resources, student records, medical information, etc.) Collected by third parties for other purposes.
Confidential Level 2 and above data can only be entered into generative AI tools that have been evaluated and approved for use by the Harvard University Office of Information Security and Data Privacy.
Review published content
The content automatically generated by generative AI may be false, inaccurate, or infringe copyright. Publishing AI-generated content requires moderation and accountability.
Adhere to existing academic policies
Always review your school’s student and teacher handbooks and policies. Harvard said the school will develop new policies as it gains a better understanding of the use of generative AI tools.
At the same time, teachers should explicitly teach and instruct students about policies regarding the use of generative AI in the classroom and in academic work. Harvard also encourages students to ask their advisors about the specifics of these policies, if needed.
Beware of Phishing
Generative AI can help novices with no programming experience generate powerful phishing emails and illegal websites. Therefore, be careful of these illegal contents at all times in use and daily work, and do not click or view them.
About Harvard University
Founded in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the most prestigious and influential universities in the world.
Harvard University has always been at the forefront of major global university rankings, including the QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, etc. Harvard’s academic reputation, teacher quality, student satisfaction, and research influence have all been highly evaluated.
