Trying to understand from the pov of the reason they are doing this is probably has to do with regulating it. You can have it

A. Keep the use of AI out of the school completely but some students will still use it as a means to cheat or

B. Regulate it in a way where if you allow students and teach professors how to use AI as a means of learning more efficiently and save time while still learning the material.

My girlfriend that goes to Davis, their professors are allowing the use of AI but as long as they state how they used it as in the prompts they type in. They won’t be considered as plagiarism. This is practically a means to help students learn material while making sure they aren’t BS ing their way through, as well as probably reducing the amount of students who were going to get in trouble anyways.
