2+academic_integrity: Aarhus University student guidance says students who use GAI in an exam project must submit a declaration naming the applications and explaining how they were used, and unchanged GAI output used in an exam project must be cited like other secondary-source quotations.
3+Evidence (en, 74d5fe6b3a7c): If you use part of a text or another output generated by a GAI application in your exam project without changing it, you must cite it in the same way you cite quotations from other secondary sources. If you use GAI in your exam project, you must submit a declaration that contains the following: 1) confirmation you used GAI, 2) the name of the GAI applications you used (ChatGPT, Copilot, Bing etc. and 3) an explanation of how you used the applications in your paper.
4+ai_tool_treatment: Aarhus University student guidance says the main rule is that students are allowed to use GAI unless their academic regulations or the course catalogue explicitly state that GAI is not allowed.
5+Evidence (en, 74d5fe6b3a7c): The main rule is that you are allowed to use GAI if your academic regulations or the course catalogue doesn’t explicitly state that using GAI is not allowed.
6+privacy: Aarhus University student guidance says students should never upload confidential or sensitive personal data covered by GDPR rules to a GAI application.
7+Evidence (en, 74d5fe6b3a7c): Never upload confidential or sensitive personal data (in other words, data covered by the GDPR rules) to a GAI application: you can’t be sure what will happen to the texts you upload. Make sure you understand the data protection rules, and follow them.
8+privacy: Aarhus University staff guidance says staff may not use GAI for trade secrets, confidential or sensitive data or copyrighted material; staff are responsible for the accuracy and quality of GAI-generated content they use or share; and GAI use should be credited where relevant.
9+Evidence (en, 3dcea669d460): This means that you may not use GAI for anything involving trade secrets, confidential or sensitive data or copyrighted material. When you use GAI to generate a text or an image, you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and quality of the content. Generally speaking, you should always consider whether crediting your use of GAI is relevant when you use GAI to generate a text, an image, a video or another product.
10+academic_integrity: Aarhus University student guidance says that when GAI is not allowed for an exam, students are not allowed to use GAI for proofreading or feedback on the exam text, and for internet-allowed exams where GAI is not allowed students may do regular web searches but may not actively use AI functions.
11+Evidence (en, 74d5fe6b3a7c): If you’re not allowed to use GAI for the exam in question, you are not allowed to use GAI to proofread and give you feedback on your exam text.

12+teaching: AU Educate guidance for teaching staff says that from fall 2024 students are allowed to use GAI in all AU exams unless academic regulations or the course description explicitly state that they may not, and it advises teachers to read those rules for their courses.
13+Evidence (en, 37608a7a6d6f): From the fall of 2024, students are allowed to use generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in all exams at AU unless it is explicitly stated in the academic regulations or course description that they may not. The new rules have been implemented in the individual academic regulations and course descriptions, therefore it might be beneficial to read these and understand how it applies to your course(s).
14+procurement: Aarhus University staff guidance says all students and staff have access to a Microsoft Copilot version similar to free ChatGPT, that no university-wide guidelines for which GAI applications are allowed have been adopted, and that purchases of systems and licences must be handled with the unit, AU IT and AU Finance.
15+Evidence (en, 3dcea669d460): In addition to access to all free GAI applications, all students and staff have access to the version of the Microsoft Copilot which is similar to the free version of ChatGPT. No university-wide guidelines for which GAI applications staff and students are allowed to use have been adopted. However, any purchases of systems and licenses must be carried out in collaboration between the individual unit and AU IT and AU Finance.
16+privacy: AU Library guidance for students says many library-provided materials such as e-books and articles may not be shared with AI tools, students should never upload confidential information to AI, and AI text mining of a larger text corpus is only permitted in an academic context if the library agreement with the publisher allows it.
