Key points
- ArtCenter requires all use of generative AI by students and faculty to be cited, with the user fully responsible for accuracy and integrity.
- Students may use AI tools only with explicit instructor permission; undisclosed use breaches the Academic and Creative Integrity Policy.
- Faculty choose from three syllabus options: AI not permitted, AI permitted with limitations, or AI actively used.
Summary
ArtCenter College of Design's generative AI policy establishes mandatory citation of all AI use and places full responsibility for accuracy, integrity and IP due diligence on the user. Student use requires explicit instructor permission, and undisclosed use constitutes a breach of academic and creative integrity. Faculty implement the policy through one of three defined syllabus configurations. The three-option framework provides a transferable model for other studio-based programs developing course-level AI governance, and the policy's treatment of environmental impact as a consideration is notable for a creative arts institution.
Implications for animation education
Animation and design faculty at ArtCenter must choose one of three syllabus configurations: AI not permitted, AI permitted with limitations, or AI actively used. Students must cite all AI use and bear full responsibility for accuracy, integrity and IP compliance. Undisclosed AI use is treated as a breach of the Academic and Creative Integrity Policy. The three-option syllabus framework is a directly transferable model for other studio-based programs designing AI governance for individual courses.
