The University did not directly respond to questions regarding academic integrity investigations or whether the University would monitor or proactively review user histories for policy violations, instead directing instructors to the Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning “for guidance on how generative AI tools intersect with academic honesty, course design, and student learning.” The statement advised students to consult the Student Manual’s Academic Honesty & Plagiarism section—which does not mention AI—and ask their instructors further questions.
The spokesperson confirmed that UChicago user information “will not be used to train Anthropic AI models,” a protection which does not apply to Anthropic’s free plans and personal subscriptions. However, personnel should not input sensitive or confidential information to Claude without permission from the appropriate university office.
