Please note that other courses may have different rules regarding generative AI, but for this particular course, the following applies:

In this course, you may use generative AI as a tool to facilitate learning and to seek knowledge and deepen your understanding within the course. It is also permitted to use generative AI to produce material that is included in the answers to examination tasks, provided that all use is clearly reported:

State what AI has been used for, and how AI tools have processed your material.
State what AI tools you have used, and what prompts you have given it.
Use of AI tools to check spelling and pure grammatical errors in an existing text does not need to be reported.

Remember that you are fully responsible for the content of everything you submit, and must be able to stand by it and, if necessary, argue for it.

On the use of generative AI

AI is a valuable tool in both studies and working life, but the material generated must always be critically reviewed and used with good judgment. To do this requires knowledge, skills, and experience that you acquire, among other things, during your education.

We need to be sure that what you submit as answers to examination tasks (papers, reports, discussion posts, etc.) provides us with a good basis for assessing whether you have achieved the course objectives. This presupposes that you have not allowed material generated by AI to replace your own efforts, and therefore, we have decided on the above rules.

A content-correct answer that does not reflect your actual understanding is knowledge-wise worthless. If the answer is also presented as if it were the result of your own work, it breaks against good academic practice, just as in the case of plagiarism or unreported quotes. In the worst case, it may be judged as misleading during examination, which is colloquially called cheating, and will be handled according to the University’s policy.

Take responsibility for your use of generative AI

Unreflective and excessive use of generative AI provides no good support for your studies. Please remember

to always consider answers from generative AI as raw material, which always needs to be critically reviewed, often adjusted and corrected, and sometimes discarded
that the responsibility for how generated content is used is always yours to develop an understanding of in which contexts generative AI is practical or necessary to use and when, on the contrary, it is counterproductive.
