Generative AI

Generative AI offers many new opportunities for learning and the development of academic skill although, like any technology, it must be used judiciously. Students should consider the data protection and privacy issues that can be caused by using AI. Consider how your personal information will be used before signing up to AI tools and ensure you read any data protection policies before interacting with AI. You should not feel pressured into using AI tools if you are uncomfortable with the data protection or privacy issues. Bear in mind that responses to AI queries can be biased due to the inherent biases present in their training data. This can lead to unfair and discriminatory responses.

Copying (including paraphrasing) AI responses to queries would be considered as plagiarism, as it would for copying the response from any internet search.
