AI Guidelines
Weber State supports responsible use of AI in student learning experiences and programs where the AI committee, faculty, and instructors have determined it's appropriate.
However, WSU highly discourages using AI-generated content in marketing, writing, and official university communications to both internal and external audiences. Using AI-generated text or imagery without attribution or careful editing undermines the values, integrity, and reputation of the university as an institution of higher education. To be transparent, users should explicitly note when they have used AI to create any content that represents Weber State.
Photos/Images
All photos should aim to show an authentic image of Weber State University. We discourage using stock photos whenever possible. AI-generated images should never be used unless they are in a context that is specifically referencing artificial intelligence.
Writing
We strongly discourage employees from using unedited and unaltered AI-generated text in anything representing Weber State University, including but not limited to marketing materials, newsletters, website verbiage and both internal and external messaging, regardless of audience. While AI text generators can be a great source of assistance, any generated text should always be reviewed critically and used as inspiration rather than verbatim. This is especially true for longer pieces of writing.
Website Content
We strongly discourage using AI-generated text or images on any web pages representing Weber State University, unless it is specifically referencing artificial intelligence and an example of such is warranted.
Weber State Logos
Do not use AI to generate any official university logos or marks.
