Fudan University took the lead in publishing the first standardized document in China to use AI tools in undergraduate graduation thesis- "Fudan University's Regulations on the use of AI tools in undergraduate graduation thesis (design)". The regulation clarifies the scope of allowing and prohibiting the use of AI tools. It aims to guide students to use the AI tools to improve efficiency and avoid excessive relying on AI to damage academic integrity. This provides valuable experience for other universities, and also reflects how to balance scientific and technological progress and academic ethics in the AI era.
On November 28, Fudan University officially issued the "Regulations on the Using AI Tools (Trial) in the Undergraduate Graduation Paper (Design)", which made detailed regulations on the application of artificial intelligence tools in the writing process of undergraduate graduation thesis. This marks the first specialized standardized management documents in this field in this field, filling the policy gap in the field.
According to the "Regulations", Fudan University allows students to use AI tools under specific conditions. After obtaining the consent of the instructor, students can use AI tools to perform the following tasks without affecting the inspection of innovation ability:
Literature retrieval and sorting: With the help of AI tools, efficient retrieval and sorting related academic documents.
Recommended and auxiliary charts for the second creative chart: Use AI tools to assist the creative chart to recommend the appropriate chart type.
Assistance of non -innovative methods: including some non -creative processes or operations.
Reference format sorting: The format of the AI tool standardized reference.
The purpose of these applications is to improve writing efficiency, but strictly limited to the framework that does not affect academic independence and innovation ability.

However, the "Regulations" also clarify the field of prohibiting the use of AI tools, including:
Research scheme design: AI must not be used for the overall plan design or framework of the paper.
Innovative method design: prohibit AI from participating in the design of innovative ideas and methods.
Data analysis and results discussion: AI tools must not perform data analysis, results analysis, discussion, and conclusions summarizing students.
These restrictions are designed to ensure that students' graduation thesis can truly reflect their independent thinking and innovation ability, avoid excessive relying on AI to generate content, and damage academic integrity.
The school emphasizes that the use of AI technology should not replace students' research work, but should be used as an auxiliary tool to help students improve efficiency and optimize the process. While promoting technological innovation, Fudan University also hopes to cultivate high -quality talents with a sense of social responsibility and academic ethics.
As the first standardized document used by the AI tools in undergraduate graduation thesis (design), the release of the "Regulations" is of great significance. It not only provides a clear operating guide for undergraduates at Fudan University, but also provides a reference for other universities' policy formulation on similar issues. With the continuous development of AI technology, how to reasonably use AI tools to promote academic research without destroying academic integrity has become an important issue facing the global education field.
This measure of Fudan University provides useful explorations for the standard academic research of colleges and universities in the AI era. Its experience is worth learning from and promoting. I believe that more universities will formulate similar specifications in the future to jointly maintain academic integrity and promote the healthy development of education.
