AI and Academic Integrity Resource Page
At Newlane, we believe that emerging technologies like generative AI tools—such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Midjourney, and others—can be powerful resources for learning, creativity, and problem-solving. Used thoughtfully, these tools can support your academic growth and help you work more efficiently. But like any tool, they must be used with care. Academic integrity means being honest about your work, your sources, and how you use technology in your learning process.
This page offers guidance on how to use AI responsibly and ethically. Start by watching the two videos below for practical tips and examples of appropriate ways to incorporate AI into your studies at Newlane. We’ll continue adding resources to help you stay informed and empowered as the tools evolve.

Practical Tips for Using AI in Writing
Updated Course Goal: In the description of each course project, we include language that the course project will also play an important role in the Course Hearing. It’s an added value to have a professor engage with students about their project in the Course Hearing in addition to the project review. To highlight this fact, we’re adding the following goal related to the project to every course:
- Demonstrate authoritative knowledge of the course project.
Transparency about AI use in Projects:
When students submit projects, they identify if and how AI was used, using the following checklist:
☐ No AI Used
I completed this project entirely without AI. All work is my own, with no AI assistance at any stage.
☐ AI for Brainstorming Only
I used AI to generate ideas, outlines, or structure, but did not include any AI-generated content in my final submission.
☐ AI for Editing Only
I used AI to improve clarity and quality of my own writing. No new content was created using AI.
☐ AI-Enhanced with Original Included
I used AI to revise or expand on my original work. I can answer authoritatively and independently about any part of this submission.
☐ AI as Co-Pilot
I used AI collaboratively to enhance creativity and meet the project goals. AI was integrated as a supportive tool throughout. I can answer authoritatively and independently about any part of this submission.
☐ 100% AI Use
I used AI freely throughout the assessment and did not track or distinguish AI-generated content from my own. I likely cannot answer authoritatively about some or all of the submission. (Not allowed)
