ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that provides quick answers to questions and assists you with tasks, such as composing emails, essays, and code.
  1. Generates human-like text based on user input.
  2. Answers questions on a wide range of topics.
  3. Engages in conversational interactions to help solve problems.
  4. May generate biased content due to the biases present in data.
  5. May not be able to handle complex domain-specific tasks.
  6. Does not include recent data and password protected research articles.
  7. VU Amsterdam doesn't have a processor agreement with ChatGPT. Do not upload sensitive data. Microsoft Copilot is the licensed option. 
First, ensure clear communication with your student regarding the use of Generative AI in your course. This may vary depending on different tasks, assignments, or assessment formats.
Second, engage in a discussion with the student to express your perspective on the situation and address any uncertainties. For instance, discuss your inability to judge the authenticity of their work or your opinion on whether they adhered to the rules. If the student persuades you that they submitted original and independent work with adequate effort, accept it as such.
If the student acknowledges non-compliance, consider reissuing the assignment: you can request a new version or product. You may also deduct some points from the grade. Utilize this approach when in doubt.
If the student denies non-compliance but you remain uncertain or convinced of their violation, escalate the case to the exam board. They will follow regular procedures when suspicions of fraud arise. However, keep in mind that establishing with sufficient certainty that a student did not comply is exceedingly challenging.
