Ivey Publishing’s Position on AI and Learning Materials

Ivey Publishing embraces the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) while upholding the principles of academic integrity, data privacy, copyright protection, and transparency.

We are committed to safeguarding Ivey Publishing’s learning materials and intellectual property. Except where expressly permitted in writing by Ivey Publishing, users may not upload, input, submit, or otherwise use Ivey Publishing learning materials, in whole or in part, in connection with any AI tool, LLM, machine learning system, or similar technology. This prohibition includes, without limitation, using such materials to train, fine-tune, ground, prompt, test, or otherwise develop or improve any AI or automated system.

Requests for permission to use Ivey Publishing learning materials in connection with AI or LLM tools must be submitted to Ivey Publishing in advance and in writing. Permission, if granted, will be at Ivey Publishing’s sole discretion and may be subject to specific terms and conditions, including limitations on scope, duration, purpose, access, attribution, security, retention, and deletion. To request permission, please email cases@ivey.ca.

In the development of learning materials, AI and LLMs may serve as tools for refinement and enhancement. We believe these tools should serve as a supplement to—not a replacement for—human creativity, academic expertise, originality, and editorial oversight.

Authors must disclose any use of AI and LLMs in materials submitted for publication to Ivey Publishing. For additional conditions and disclosure requirements related to the use of AI and LLMs, please refer to our AI Disclosure Form.

We will continue to update our policies as learning materials and industry practices evolve.
