Amid growing concerns about ethical issues following the rapid spread of generative artificial intelligence (AI), JBNU has fully revised the 'JBNU Generative AI Teaching and Learning Utilization Guidelines' to establish proper usage standards for educational settings.

The guideline revision is a proactive measure to positively integrate the spread of generative AI, including ChatGPT, into educational settings and to present concrete behavioral standards for faculty and students to follow. JBNU focused on encouraging active use of AI to support learning and research under clear standards rather than imposing blanket restrictions.

Established under the supervision of the Office of Academic Affairs at JBNU, the revised guidelines are characterized by their clear, easy-to-understand presentation of the behavioral rules faculty and students must actually follow when using generative AI.

The guidelines consist of the concept of generative AI and its potential problems; six fundamental principles for use; classroom utilization guidelines for instructors; and classroom utilization guidelines for learners.

A key element is the requirement that all courses specify the level of generative AI use in syllabi by categorizing it into three levels — 'completely prohibited – partially permitted – fully permitted' — and that they preannounce the permitted methods of use for assignments and exams and examples of misconduct. This ensures that both instructors and students clearly understand the permitted scope of AI use from the start of the course.

JBNU emphasized responsible AI use by providing concrete examples of misconduct and potential ethical violations. At the same time, by providing guidance on ways to use AI that can enhance educational effectiveness during teaching and learning processes, the university aims for 'safe, proactive use' rather than 'blanket prohibition.'

JBNU produced card news for instructors and learners along with the full text of the guidelines and posted them on the university website and the academic information system (LMS) to help members understand. The university plans to support ongoing promotion and guidance so that generative AI is used in educational settings in ways that uphold fairness and ethics.

Oh Sang-wook, Vice-President of the Office of Academic Affairs at JBNU, said, 'When used well, generative AI can greatly improve educational efficiency and the learning experience, but using it without standards can cause serious side effects. I hope that, following the revision of these guidelines, both instructors and students will use AI safely and responsibly under clear standards.'
