+ ## Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools
+ The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI or GenAI) tools in this course
+ is considered acceptable (optional or non-mandatory) in specific contexts, as
+ described below.
+
+ First, and besides the use of computer tools, it is also important to realize
+ that a fundamental component of the learning outcomes expected in this course
+ are the conceptualization of the process of mathematical model building, and the
+ use of these models for the analysis and diagnosis of system behavior and the
+ specification of engineering solutions. These are capabilities that the students
+ are expected to achieve and be able to autonomously demonstrate at the end of
+ the course.
+
+ It is therefore very important to separate the use of computer tools from the
+ development of analytic capabilities that the students need to demonstrate. For
+ this end, the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI or GenAI) tools the
+ assignments / tasks for this course is limited to:
+
+ - Translation of texts from a foreign language.
+
+ - Grammar revision / review of texts written by students.
+
+ - Citation / indication of authors and the preparation of bibliographic lists.
+
+ - Specific support in the direct implementation of computer programs / scripts,
+ when such programs are the direct or desired output of the task (e.g., writing
+ a computer program, or using it to produce numerical or graphical results).
+
+ When GenAI tools are used in the course tasks, you are required to:
+
+ - At the beginning of the report, provide a statement mentioning that GenAI
+ tools were used for its elaboration, and list all of the GenAI tools used.
+
+ - Provide an annex to the document, with the printout or listing of the full
+ scripts and outputs (i.e., the complete interaction) with the AI system.
+
+ Please remember that, in either case, the students are required to be aware of
+ all of the solution steps that were used. The students might also be required to
+ discuss these task reports with the instructors, to allow a clear evaluation of
+ the student's effort and comprehension level achieved. Any information revealed
+ during this step might be used to adjust the student grade, and should be
+ considered a regular part of the grading process.
+
+ The use of the any AI or GenAI outside the scopes considered here is not allowed
+ and should be discussed in advance with the instructors.
