EPFL advises students not to input confidential, private or personal information into generative AI tools. When using generative AI tools, students are sharing data with private companies and lose control over it.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence96%Evidence1Languagesen

academic_integrity

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%Evidence1Languagesen

teaching

EPFL recommends that teachers make explicit to students what AI use is not legitimate in a course and what rules accompany AI tool use.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%Evidence1Languagesen

academic_integrity

EPFL considers the use of AI-generated content in assignments without proper attribution as AI plagiarism. Tools that detect AI-generated content are not admissible as stand-alone evidence of AI plagiarism due to high risk of false positives.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%Evidence1Languagesen

privacy

EPFL guidance says enterprise licenses such as Microsoft 365 Copilot via EPFL account are currently not a secure solution for processing regulated data because EPFL has not signed a data processing agreement guaranteeing aligned data protection measures.
