This document is intended to help the Ecampus Course Development Team, as well as faculty and staff, use a principles-based approach in deciding if and how to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into course development, research, and other work projects. After reviewing the risks identified below, consider whether the overall benefits of using the tool outweigh the risks.

*important to consult existing policy, but there is no assurance said policy is good or even thoughtful
