Amid the growing ethical controversy in the education sector due to the recent proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (AI), Chonbuk University announced that it has completely revised its "Chonbuk University Generative AI Professor and Learning Utilization Guidelines."

Chonbuk University focused on providing specific behavioral standards that professors and students should follow to encourage the direction of utilizing generative AI in learning and research, rather than unconditionally restricting generative AI such as ChatGPT. The revised guidelines, organized by the Office of Academic Affairs, have simplified the guidelines that must be followed when using generative AI.

The guidelines consist of the concept and issues of utilizing generative AI, six basic principles of utilization, guidelines for professors and learners in class utilization, and more. In particular, it is essential that the level of generative AI utilization in all courses be divided into three stages: 'completely prohibited - partially allowed - fully allowed,' and be specified in the course syllabus. It also emphasizes informing in advance the permissible ways of utilization in assignments and exams, as well as cases of misconduct.

Chonbuk University not only emphasizes responsible AI use by providing examples of misconduct and potential ethical violations but also guides on how to enhance educational effectiveness in the teaching and learning process. Along with the full guidelines, they have created card news for professors and students and posted them on the university's website and Learning Management System (LMS). They plan to support the utilization that upholds fairness and ethics through continuous promotion in the future.

Oh Sang-wook, the head of the Office of Academic Affairs, stated, "Generative AI can have significant side effects if used without standards," and expressed his hope that it will be used safely and responsibly under clear guidelines.
