GenAI Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Copilot@Seneca | Seneca Students

1. Where is the “official” list of approved tools and who will be making decisions on future approvals?
   
   
   • Given the speed at which Generative AI (GenAI) technology is evolving, it is difficult for Seneca to maintain a definitive list of approved AI platforms at this time. As mentioned in the GenAI policy, requests to use GenAI platforms are consulted on with ITS and/or Teaching and Learning before deciding use at Seneca.
2. Can a faculty member recommend, and a student use, an unauthorized GenAI tool if it is considered part of an assignment that specifically directs students to engage with the tool?
   
   
   • As mentioned in the GenAI policy, faulty are requested to consult with ITS and/or Teaching and Learning before deciding to use an unauthorized GenAI platform. Students are reminded that they should not share private or sensitive information in the GenAI tool, especially ones not approved by Seneca.
