these resources? We have moved from an encyclopedia, to Wikipedia, to Google, and now Chat GPT, and whatever comes
next. How close are we all to properly using, paraphrasing and citing this new wave of access to primary and secondary
sources? What tools are faculty members using to find incidents of plagiarism? Are we attempting to create assignments
that are “Artificial Intelligent resistant?” How can faculty use AI sources to enhance creativity in their assignments and
Machiavelli advised to keep your friends close and your enemies closer – do we keep our books and journals close, and the
internet closer? As instructors, do we embrace AI, or continue to wage a losing battle against it. Should students use all

knowledge, and ethical behavior and performance cross paths? How do we educate Generation Z students in a technology
infused environment?
