What Does “AI-generated content” Mean?

AI-generated content is any form of digital content, such as text, images, videos, or audio, that is created by artificial intelligence systems without direct human intervention.

What it means

The catalog puts it this way: “While AI-generated content has the potential to improve efficiency and creativity in various fields, it also raises ethical concerns related to plagiarism, copyright infringement, bias, and misinformation, which need to be carefully addressed when using and sharing AI-generated materials.”

What the catalog says

InterCoast Colleges’ catalog states this under “HONOR SYSTEM POLICY (Academic Integrity)” (pp. 48–52).

“There are many ways students can use AI as a tool, rather than a way to cheat.”

Among the things students are told to do: “Be transparent; cite (attribute) AI text and images properly when you use them in your own work.”

“Misuse of AI is considered plagiarism and is subject to the institution’s Academic Integrity policy.”
