AI Guidelines

San Diego State University has a principled and agile generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) strategy that supports responsible and ethical adoption among university employees. In adopting GenAI tools, SDSU employees should follow important considerations related to information security, data and personal privacy, compliance, copyright and protecting proprietary information, and accuracy and academic integrity. 

The following guidelines are developed to guide university employees who choose to adopt GenAI tools as part of their job duties. Independent unit-level guidelines should not be produced in tandem with or to replace these approved guidelines:

• Get professional GenAI training
• Rely on professional tools, keep privacy in mind
• Seek Support as Needed
• GenAI should augment work
• Ensure accurate, bias-free content
• Be attentive to restrictions, state laws
• Specific guidance for communications professionals
