Humans retain active responsibility for decisions made with Artificial Intelligence support. The respect for privacy is to be upheld in all Artificial Intelligence related activities at ACU.
8+research: ACU research guidance says HDR candidates should declare GenAI use for thesis copyediting/proofreading, discuss intended research use with supervisors, record and acknowledge tool usage and prompts, and should not input sensitive or confidential information into GenAI tools.
9+Evidence (en, 319a49591d00): HDR candidates should, for thesis preparation, only use GenAI specifically for copyediting and proofreading and this use should be declared; discuss intended GenAI use with supervisors; record and acknowledge tool usage and all prompts; and not input sensitive or confidential information into GenAI tools.
10+teaching: ACU Library guidance tells students that GenAI may be permitted in some contexts, but assessment use should be clearly authorized and acknowledged, and final work should reflect the student's own analysis and understanding.
11+Evidence (en, 15b576a53675): GenAI may be permitted in some contexts, but its use must be explicitly allowed - particularly in assessment tasks. Always refer to your unit outline or tutor's instructions. If GenAI use is not clearly authorised, it should not be used.
