As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into research, teaching, scholarship, and institutional decision-making, understanding its ethical implications is critical. From algorithmic bias and surveillance to questions of accountability and global impact, the ethical landscape of AI is complex and evolving.

This guide provides a curated selection of resources to support those who are:

• Exploring the ethical dimensions of AI in their teaching or research
• Integrating AI tools into coursework or advising students
• Engaging in institutional conversations about data, automation, and policy

Resources are organized around four major areas of concern:

• Fairness and Bias
• Privacy and Security
• Accountability, Transparency, and Oversight
• Societal Impact

Each section is structured into three tiers:

• Overview – High-level overviews and foundational materials.
• Learn More – Additional context and explanation for expanded understanding.
• Dig Deeper – In-depth, detailed insights for readers looking for comprehensive information.

I am sure I am not the only educator who wilted a little as they learned about ChatGPT in early 2023. After three years of pandemic instruction, in a variety of modalities, with our institutions demonstrating varying degrees of respect for public health, it felt (at best) exhausting to have circumstances demand we rethink our pedagogies once again to factor in generative AI. It was also tempting to rush to one stark choice or another–to ban ChatGPT and its ilk, or to permit it in every instance–if for no other reason than to feel some sense of clarity amid another period of rapid change. But in giving myself time to wrestle with the nuances of ed tech over the summer, I realized that I needed to give my students the same opportunity I had given myself: time. So much about generative AI has been sold to us at speed, promising quick resolutions to writing problems for students and demanding urgent responses from faculty. I wanted to slow things down, and to offer students the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of AI use so that they could make critical, informed decisions about how it would shape their educational experience.
