This tracker is not legal advice, not academic integrity advice, and not an official university statement unless a linked source is the university's own official page.

Newly extracted claims are tracker additions and are not necessarily newly published by the university. Source snapshot changes show hash changes for the same source URL and are not by themselves policy changes.

11 # Ghent University AI policy record
2+source_status: Ghent University has a university-wide framework for responsible AI use that guides the Ghent University community with principles including accountability, honesty, respectful use, careful and sustainable use, privacy and confidentiality, and exemplary behaviour.
3+Evidence (en, 348f659e0511): These values serve as a guide for the entire Ghent University community and all activities that constitute university life. Responsible use encompasses the following fundamental principles: (1) accountability and independent action, (2) honesty, (3) accessibility and respectful use, (4) careful and sustainable use, (5) privacy and confidentiality, and (6) exemplary behaviour.
4+ai_tool_treatment: Ghent University says everyone at the university has access to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat with business data protection, while also noting that Copilot Chat is not promoted as the sole GenAI tool.
5+Evidence (en, ac125fdc3ef5): Everyone at Ghent University has access to a more secure, high-performance GenAI tool: the Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat with business data protection. We do not promote Copilot Chat as the sole tool.
6+ai_tool_treatment: For assignments completed at home from academic year 2024-2025, Ghent University student guidance permits responsible use of generative AI tools and says individual teachers can still prohibit use for a specific subject.
7+Evidence (en, b065451afc72): From the 2024-2025 academic year, the following guidelines will apply to assignments you complete at home: responsible use of generative AI tools is permitted. Please note: an individual teacher in a specific subject can still prohibit its use.
8+privacy: Ghent University teaching guidance says lecturers and students should protect personal, privacy-sensitive, or copyright-protected data and should never upload personal or confidential information without clear permission.
9+Evidence (en, 1a69b9c3ac76): As a lecturer or student, you respect and protect personal, privacy-sensitive, or copyright-protected data. You never upload personal or confidential information without clear permission.
10+academic_integrity: Ghent University student guidance treats irresponsible GenAI use such as plagiarism, fake data, or outsourcing the thinking process as irregularities that lead to an exam disciplinary procedure.
11+Evidence (en, b065451afc72): There are some clear cases where you have used GenAI irresponsibly and thus committed an irregularity: Plagiarism is plagiarism, whether or not you used GenAI tools. You let GenAI generate fake data and use it as real data. You outsource the thinking process to GenAI. The above irregularities lead to an exam disciplinary procedure.
12+teaching: Ghent University teaching guidance says responsible GenAI use is always permitted unless a lecturer explicitly prohibits it for parts of an assignment that take place in a controlled environment, and it cautions that detection tools are unreliable.
13+Evidence (en, 1a69b9c3ac76): Responsible GenAI use is always permitted unless a lecturer explicitly prohibits its use for parts of an assignment, requiring that assignment to take place in a controlled environment. For homework assignments, such a ban is neither possible nor desirable to enforce. The current detection tools are unreliable.
14+research: Ghent University research guidance says members are expected to demonstrate research integrity, remain responsible for GenAI output, and be transparent about substantial GenAI use according to disciplinary standards.
15+Evidence (en, 026af32f9431): As a member of Ghent University, you are expected to demonstrate research integrity. (Gen)AI may not be used to infringe upon or to justify any violation of research integrity. Researchers are transparant about substantial use of (gen)AI, according to the standards of their discipline.
16+privacy: Ghent University research guidance says GDPR applies when developing AI based on personal data or processing personal data with AI in research, and that AI applications must ensure privacy and data protection throughout their lifecycle.
17+Evidence (en, 0768d0e1fe20): When you develop artificial intelligence based on personal data or process personal data using artificial intelligence in your research, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. AI applications must therefore ensure privacy and data protection principles throughout their lifecycle, including the principles of privacy by design and privacy by default.
