If you choose this option, you are encouraged to leverage Al tools to streamline your research and writing process. Begin by selecting an artist and a specific work of art from the provided list of artists. Utilize Al for research purposes, seeking insights into the artist’s background, the historical context of the artwork, and critical analyses. Additionally, you may use Al to aid in drafting and editing your paper.
The following are the most important requirements.
Transparency Expectations with Al:
• Al Utilization Declaration: Clearly declare at the beginning of your paper whether you have chosen Option 1, embracing Al assistance, or Option 2, relying entirely on human efforts. This declaration sets the foundation for transparency.
• Al Prompts for Research: If you opt for Al assistance in research, provide a detailed statement at the end of your paper outlining the specific prompts given to the Al. Clarify how the Al contributed to gathering information on the artist, historical context, and critical analyses. This transparency ensures that the intellectual contributions of both human and Al entities are discernible.
• hAI Prompts for Writing and Editing: Similarly, if Al is employed for writing and editing purposes, clearly articulate the prompts given to the Al. Specify the aspects of the writing process where Al was involved, whether it be drafting, language refinement, or structural suggestions. This transparency ensures a clear distinction between the student’s original ideas and those influenced by Al.
• Human Dominance in Creativity: Regardless of Al assistance, emphasize that the core creative and interpretive elements of the paper must originate from the student’s intellectual engagement. Al should be viewed as a supplementary tool, aiding in efficiency but not substituting the student’s capacity for critical thought, analysis, and creativity.
• Citation and Academic Integrity: Emphasize the importance of proper citation for both human and Al-generated content. If Al contributes ideas, ensure that these are appropriately cited as Al-generated. Uphold academic integrity by acknowledging the sources of information, ideas, and insights, whether human or Al-derived.
