Teaching & Learning
- The university has a multi-layered approach
- University-wide regulations define using AI without acknowledgement as academic dishonesty
- In contrast, the MSW Program completely prohibits the use of AI in any form for any academic work
Presenting the work of another as one's own without proper acknowledgement or citation, including intellectual property (words, ideas, designs, calculations, instructions, computer code, etc.) generated by or with the assistance of another person, artificial intelligence, or another source.
Students who use Artificial Intelligence generated text in any part of an assignment, exam, or paper submitted for a law school class or as part of any law school activity, are required to disclose such use and include a statement in or attached to the assignment, exam, or paper describing in detail the nature and extent of the use. Use of artificial intelligence generated text without such disclosure is prohibited.
Students may NOT use artificial intelligence (AI) in any form or at any time in the MSW Program at the University of Wyoming. This includes but is not limited to: completing assignments, writing papers, developing presentations, engaging with discussion boards, taking quizzes or exams, and providing services to clients. Any use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty.
- Rules for AI use in assessments vary by department
- The College of Law requires students to disclose any use of AI-generated text in an exam
- The MSW Program, however, completely prohibits the use of AI for taking quizzes or exams, classifying any such use as academic dishonesty

Research
- The materials describe AI as a topic for institutional study and development, including research, but they do not set an explicit policy governing the use of AI for drafting, editing, or preparing theses, dissertations, or scholarly manuscripts
The committee's charge consists of the following tasks:
1. Investigate possible directions for UW to take in research, teaching and learning, operations,
community relations, service, and other areas related to AI.
Explore with stakeholders the uses of AI across all domains and recommend AI development activities that should be prioritized for the university.
Develop guidelines and policies regarding the use of AI across the university.
- The university has ongoing governance work to investigate AI use in research and to develop university guidelines and policies, but the provided sources do not establish a current explicit rule for AI in grant proposals, IRB applications, or research ethics declarations

Academic Integrity
- The general rule requires acknowledgement for AI-assisted work
- The College of Law mandates a more specific, detailed disclosure statement
- Disclosure and attribution requirements differ significantly across the university

Use of these resources is limited to authorized users and should be solely for educational, scholarly, and research purposes. Commercial use and systematical/automated downloading, and use in creating or developing machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) tools or technologies are prohibited except pursuant to a separate written agreement from the Libraries, publisher, and any other applicable rights holder.
- The university has established formal AI governance and strategy bodies and initiatives
- It created an AI committee and later an AI Across the University Commission to investigate AI use across university functions, engage stakeholders, recommend priorities, and develop guidelines and policies; the president's AI4WY initiative also frames AI as a statewide and institutional priority
The committee's charge consists of the following tasks:
1. Investigate possible directions for UW to take in research, teaching and learning, operations,
community relations, service, and other areas related to AI.
