Educators:

AI in education and navigating its acceptable use is currently a hot topic!

Please note that there are potential risks including possible compliance breaches associated with using information from generative AI sources. You may find that the information and/or attribution given is out of date or otherwise incorrect and should not be treated as an academic and/or credible source.

If you would like information on how to create references from generative AI sources, please see the library services referencing page. For further information about copyright and AI, please contact the Copyright Librarian.
