In this guide, you'll find resources, links, and explanations to help you learn more about the implications of new and rapidly developing tools powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This research guide is designed to provide a basic introduction to AI for non-experts. Because AI tools are increasingly used in all disciplines, this guide attempts to provide a balance of current developments in the technology as well as guidelines in higher education.
You should not make use of AI in the production of any work for assessment without first discussing this with your professor. Your professor may ask you not to use this technology, and explain why, and you should respect this position.
If you are allowed to use AI tools in your work, the East Texas A&M University (ETAMU) policy (drafted on May 25, 2023) requires any AI use to be cited. Rules for citing generative AI are evolving, but many style manuals have already published guidelines. Please see the following links for examples:
AI tools and platforms are being developed rapidly, without any effective regulation. This is having an enormous impact on higher education, the job market, and the creation and distribution of information. ETAMU, like other education bodies across the world, is assessing this rapidly developing field and its implication for learning, teaching, and assessment.
Librarians are available to help you with your research in all disciplines. We are happy to help you at any stage of the research process. You can call, contact us online, or meet with us in person or on Zoom.
