Caltech provides this initial guidance to encourage the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language model (LLM) tools and technologies, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Dall-E and Google's Bard in research, education, and administrative work at Caltech.
As a research and education institute, committed to advancing the frontiers of science and engineering and expanding knowledge, we support a responsible, measured experimentation with and use of new technologies. While doing this, however, Caltech requires that you follow all existing applicable regulations and Institute policies. These include, but are not limited to, ensuring protection of confidential, personal, or business information and intellectual property, and adherence to the honor code, course requirements, research integrity, and publication ethics.知识产权IP & copyright
As you use GenAI and LLM technologies in your work at Caltech, we ask that you apply these four guiding principles to your practice: disclosure, data and information protection, content responsibility, and Caltech's honor code.
The Institute's guidance promotes responsible and ethical use of GenAI and LLM tools at Caltech, and fosters a community that values transparency, integrity, privacy, accuracy, and fairness.
