UC-Berkeley Law School Implements Strict AI Policy Prohibiting Use for Academic Work

The University of California at Berkeley's law school has released a new, terse AI policy that prohibits students from using artificial intelligence for 'conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit.' The policy also forbids using AI to correct grammar and warns that 'citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of prohibited AI use.' This strict approach has garnered significant attention and mixed reactions within higher education.
