Conference Tech Policy

MSUMUN Delegate Tech Policy

Delegates in the General Assembly and Specialized committees are allowed to use technology during unmoderated caucuses to draft working papers. The use of technology during formal debate, outside of committee, and during voting procedure is still prohibited. During the conference, any documents in which more than one delegate is collaborating or has access to is required to be shared with the dias, no exceptions. Working on resolutions outside of committee sessions or deliberately restricting access to current committee documents to “kick-out” other delegates is strictly prohibited and may result in award disqualification.

Technology is prohibited for Crisis Committees

Generative AI Tech Policy

The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted at MSUMUN for the following activities:

  • Brainstorming and refining your ideas for position papers;

  • Checking grammar and style.

The use of generative AI tools is not permitted at MSUMUN for the following activities:

  • Writing entire sentences, paragraphs or papers in any of the following documents

    • Position Papers

    • Directives and Directive Clauses

    • Draft Resolutions, Working Papers, and their clauses

  • Writing entire sentences or paragraphs of a delegate’s speech used in speaker’s lists or caucuses.

While committees like the ITU are exploring the implications of the AI usage and our USG of Technology recognizes the potential of AI as an affective tool for learning or change, delegates are also responsible for the integrity of the information they submit and use at MSUMUN. A delegate’s use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited in order to stay within our code of ethics and the spirit of Model United Nations. Any document that is found to have deliberately used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will not be permitted and may lead to disqualification from awards subject to the discretion of the Dias and MSUMUN Secretariat
