Comment on MIT's Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Trainingparent

Comments

I don't agree? By the time you get to the specific policy sections (3.x.x) there are concrete changes outlined in bold, several of which are requests for the institute to invest large amounts of resources changing the current teaching process. Even the non-bolded text occasionally contains real insights, like this gem from the end of 3.1.9:

Students should not feel policed. Durable change will require instructors to be as clear as possible about their expectations and students to understand AI misuse as an unacceptable deviation from shared peer norms and community values rather than a violation of an arbitrary bureaucratic rule.

I immediately forwarded 3.3 to a colleague (AD of Research). We have a blanket policy document at the institutional level to establish a framework for baselines, but it's absent of any practicable guidance outside of a general approval process and expectations for academic honesty.
