The following are examples of the different AI tools available for use by library staff, faculty, and students, organized by the type of tool – Text Generators, Image Generators, Code Generators and Assistants, Productivity Tools, Academic Search Tools (publicly available), and Academic Search Tools (limited access).
The listing of a tool in no way implies that it has been vetted or approved by Queen’s University and/or QUL. Each tool should be used with caution and with a critical lens as to the output.
As per Queen’s University guidelines, instructors have the ability to indicate via their course syllabus if AI tools of any kind are allowed to be used within that course (please see the VPTL website here for more info). Students should always review the course syllabus before deciding if they can or should use an AI tool to help them with assignments. If the syllabus is unclear, students should explicitly ask their instructors for permission in advance of using any AI tools. AI tools used for course assignments in which the instructor has clearly indicated they are not permitted is considered a breach of academic integrity.
