GAiIT Level 2: Ai as a Collaborator
gaiIT Level 2
Level Summary
Ai use is permitted as moderated contributor to multiple stages of assignment completion including the final draft. Contributor: Co-writing, co-authoring, image generation, infographics, etc...
Description:
Ai serves as a content creation collaborator to provide content used in the final draft of an assignment. Ai Collaboration includes using generated images, videos, or text productions to augment or enhance a final product in a manner that suggests co-creation.
Situations or courses where LEVEL 2 is applied:
The G2 GAiIT level may include courses that teach students how to produce professional-grade subject-specific content. G2 would be ideal for implementation when most of the learning process is complete, and the
assessment focuses on the product’s quality. Still, they may need to gain the technical or artistic skills to produce assessment work that would be considered exciting or visually engaging in instances where students make a video to discuss their ideas, conclusions, evaluations, and the like. For example, a student creates the proposal content, and the Ai might produce the design elements of the presentation to enhance the aesthetic engagement elements of the presentation. The student’s content contribution to the project demonstrates the student’s knowledge and abilities, whereas generative Ai creation engines support the project’s professionalism and included in the final draft.
LEVEL 2 assignment types
The student and Ai will write, design, or enhance assignments as a collaborative team. These types of
assignments are typically projects, compilations of works, presentations, or something that may rely on aesthetic properties beyond the student’s ability to produce.
For example, a literature teacher presents a project where students will make an entire Literature News magazine based on the works they have collected across the semester. The students must have a minimum of three of their own pieces or work in the magazine, and Ai can produce the other 7. The magazine must be fully illustrated along the themes of the articles within the magazine. There must also be two full-page ads for literacy-based products students reviewed during the term.
CITATION TIME
Ai APA7 General Format:
--
Example of the general format:
Company. (release year). AI Name (version) [type of ai used]. Website address
--
Actual application of the general format:
OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (v3.5) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat
--
In-text Citation:
(OpenAi, 2023) - the date represents the date the prompt was entered and response created
Special Considerations for Level 2 citations ~ Images and video
Unlike text replies provided by Ai in engines like Llama and GPT, there is a precise URL that is provided to each output within the Ai's conversational history. In situations where high-end, high-risk, papers or projects are on the line lawyers or other investigators might want to see the original phrasing of the Ai's output. In which case, the author of the paper would make a specific citation for that bit of information, and then create the long form of the citation including the link to find exactly what the Ai's message said.
In the case of images...
Ai produced images are one-offs, meaning that every time that same prompt is used a different picture will come out. No two Ai images created by LLMs are exactly the same, nor will there ever be two Ai generated images that will be the same. Some Ai image generators keep records of user images, most - especially the free ones - do not. Therefore, there referencing something that will never happen again nor is stored in a predicable referenceable location might appear in vain. However, simple credit of a given image used in any publication would suffice.
So, for Ai Generated images included in student work, the GAIIT Framework suggests:
In the case of referencing images, all that would be required is a small in-text citation, consisting of the Ai's name and the production year of the image.

Optional:
In addition to the simple intext citation, in situations that a more granular look, the prompt could be included to demonstrate how the image was produced. The prompt would be included in the reference section at the end of the project or paper.
