AI guidelines for the course

It is strongly preferred that you do not use AI in the course. The skills you need to acquire are best acquired by your own effort or perhaps in a discussion with a fellow student or TA/teacher. A single example of above:
With the rise of Copilot/ChatGPT answers are easier to get than ever. If you insist on using such tools, be sure you do not use them in a way harmful to your learning. Specifically, ask questions like "how does this work?", "what is the significance of this?" as these questions promote learning. Do NOT ask questions like "how do I do this?", "can you make python code that does this?", which simply solves a problem for you - likely in a way that is not intended in the course progression and you do not really understand, because it is either outside or too early in the curriculum.
