As a MacEwan University student, I need to understand the guidelines for using Generative AI in academic writing. Specifically, how can GenAI assist with pre-writing for a literature review, what are its limitations for secondary research, and what are the three ethical disclosure scenarios for AI use?
Navigate to 'libguides.macewan.ca'. Click on 'Writing Guides'. Click on 'Writing and Generative AI'. Click on 'The GenAI Writing Process' to find information on pre-writing assistance for a literature review and limitations for secondary research. Extract how GenAI can assist in pre-writing tasks for a literature review. Extract the limitations of GenAI for secondary research. Go back to the 'Writing and Generative AI' page. Click on 'Critical AI Literacy' to find the ethical disclosure scenarios. Identify and list the three possible scenarios for ethical AI use at MacEwan University. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
State that GenAI can help in pre-writing for a literature review by understanding the genre of the assignment, planning the writing process (e.g., generating outlines or mind maps), and brainstorming potential research questions. State that GenAI has limitations for secondary research, specifically that it cannot conduct sophisticated searches or access paywalled content/non-digitized sources, and often 'hallucinates' or makes things up. List the three possible scenarios for ethical AI use at MacEwan University: permitted with acknowledgement, permitted with prior permission, and not permitted.
