Increasingly, and as the Summer draws to a close and the Fall semester looms, I come across examples of individual law professors developing and advocating for their own custom classroom policies relative to Generative AI use by students.
I’ll post links to particularly thoughtful examples, as I encounter them. Here are two:
Matthew Sag, (Emory Law), “AI, Accommodations, and Assessment Integrity: An open letter to my colleagues at Emory Law.” Matt has been writing abundantly and critically about AI for a long while. His university title, in fact, gives away his expertise: he is “Jonas Robitscher Professor of Law in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science, Emory University.” This piece is directed to assessments, and specifically to assessments via examination.
Larry Catá Backer (Penn State Dickinson Law), “AI assists. You think. You analyze. You write. You take responsibility”: Creating a Course AI Use Policy Template –Policy Text, Justification and Rule Summary for My Law & Religion Class at Penn State Dickinson.” Larry focuses on uses of AI across all registers of student work rather than only on exams. He is quite open that he used AI systems in his analysis (and in his illustrations!), but the results are, as one would expect, his own.
