Cornell approaches generative AI with both curiosity and care: embracing innovation while upholding the values that guide our teaching, research, and public mission.
GenAI is evolving quickly, reshaping how we learn and work while raising important questions about academic integrity, ethics, access, and bias.
Cornell is collaborating across disciplines to lead thoughtful exploration and guide responsible innovation.
Generative AI in Academic Research: Perspectives and Cultural Norms
Cornell’s taskforce on the use of Generative AI in research produced a report covering the various stages of the research process in which many faculty, staff, and students participate daily. The report provides guidance for thoughtful use of Generative AI in research, identifying opportunities as well as risks and duties in both the development and use of these tools in academic research that aspires to positive societal impact.
We encourage all researchers and research administrators at Cornell to review your colleagues’ input, developed in the same year that many of us gained awareness and access to Gen AI tools.
