AI can be a powerful tool for learning, teaching and research. Because AI evolves so rapidly, keeping up with the technology and potential uses can be a challenge. And using it responsibly and ethically is imperative. Throughout the UW, departments and programs provide discipline-specific advice and guidance. Below are a few general resources for the ethical and responsible use of AI.
