This guide is designed to answer questions and provide guidance for students using artificial intelligence applications. Students should defer to in-class policies from individual professors before attempting to use artificial intelligence applications. Class policies may differ significantly on AI usage.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence is a subfield of computer science that is dedicated to creating machines capable of thinking and learning equivalent to a human. Attempts at building human-level intelligence into computers dates back almost to dawn of computers themselves in the 1940s and 1950s.
