Using Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) at MIT

This guide aims to provide guidance for students about using gen AI as part of their studies, as well as general information on Generative AI applications for students and staff, including providing options for various functions.

Banned AI Tools

There are two AI tools banned under current MIT policy Students cannot use these tools.
Both Qillbot and Grammerly are banned. This is because they are basic wordspinners - wordspinners being paraphrasers, text rewriters, which can automatically rewrite or ‘spin’ content. The reason for this is that these tools can be used to disguise the original source of the text, which may be from an illegitimate Generative AI source.
