Although AI is a new field, compliance questions are mostly covered by existing Cornell policies. This page highlights relevant Cornell policies and guidance for AI as it is developed.
Areas to Consider
- Use of AI in Peer Reviews
- Use of AI to Generate Ideas
- Use of AI for Editing
- Citing AI-Created Work
Cornell released a report offering perspectives and practical guidelines to the community, specifically on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the practice and dissemination of academic research.
If you have a question about using AI in research that you've been unable to resolve or find guidance for, you can submit it to the AI Use Committee for consideration. The committee will review all submissions and may develop guidance or resources in response.
