Using ChatGPT (or similar tools that generate text, code, or visual images) for content generation and submitting it as one’s own original work is a violation of the University of Waterloo’s Policy 71 (Student Discipline). Use of these tools may be explicitly permitted by an instructor (as stated in assignment guidelines or a course outline, for example) for teaching and learning purposes that do not include claiming AI-generated output as original work.

For more information and contacts please see FAQs - Chat GPT at the University of Waterloo. The Library also has a ChatGTP and Generative Artificial Intelligence AI guide with more on AI generated content and citation and finding information with ChatGTP.
