Divya Delhi : An internal survey at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-Delhi) found widespread use of AI tools among students and faculty, prompting an internal committee to issue guidelines for fair and ethical AI use. Following an internal poll that indicated 81% of students and 50% of teachers regularly used AI tools, the group was formed last year. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Chatbot, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Perplexity AI are popular. The group recommended citing AI-assisted photos, tables, and significant text sections in captions, footnotes, or the main text in its recommendations, viewed by ThePrint. Instructors should also design plagiarism policies that cover ethical generative AI use. Rangan Banerjee, IIT-Delhi director, told that these were the “first tranche” of proposals and the standards were being modified. “The goal is to create a framework that evolves over time, not just rules. AI is constantly changing, therefore education must adapt. How much AI in academic work is appropriate remained unclear, according to Banerjee. “You can't say '30% AI is okay. The teachers must be mindful while creating assignments and question papers, he said. They must ask: Can AI simply answer this? If yes, how do I change the question? Many professors are testing AI prompts and changing their judgments. That kind of innovation is crucial because AI will stay.”
