11 # KU Leuven AI policy record
2+ai_tool_treatment: KU Leuven permits and encourages responsible, critical use of generative AI in teaching and research, framing it as a complement to critical thinking and professional expertise rather than a replacement.
3+Evidence (en, 5748132da23f): KU Leuven is open to the use of generative AI (GenAI) in teaching and research, and encourages students, lecturers, researchers and staff to use this technology in a responsible and critical manner. Generative AI is a powerful tool. We use it consciously and purposefully: as a complement to, not a replacement for, critical thinking and professional expertise.
4+academic_integrity: KU Leuven student guidance says students remain fully responsible for what they submit and must ensure assignments allow teaching staff to assess their acquired competences.
5+Evidence (en, e40b1ab53f24): 2 basic principles apply for students : A student has full responsibility for what they submit; You make sure that the assignment allows the teaching staff to evaluate which competences you have acquired as a student.
6+academic_integrity: KU Leuven student guidance says clear misuse of GenAI, where output is largely generated by GenAI and the student is not transparent about tool use, can be considered an irregularity under Article 84 of the Education and Examination Regulations.
7+Evidence (en, e40b1ab53f24): A clear misuse of GenAI - where any output was largely generated by GenAI and you were not transparent about using the tool - can be considered an irregularity under Article 84 of the Education and Examination Regulations (OER).
8+teaching: KU Leuven teaching guidance expects teaching staff to clearly inform students whether GenAI may be used for assignments and expects students to be transparent about GenAI use so assessment can be fair and correct.
9+Evidence (en, 7ababb8b4225): Teaching staff are expected to clearly inform students about whether or not they are allowed to use GenAI for assignments such as visual, writing and programming assignments. Students are expected to be transparent about the use of GenAI so that their knowledge, understanding and skills can be assessed fairly and correctly.
10+security_review: KU Leuven identifies Copilot logged in with a KU Leuven account as its recommended GenAI tool, citing contractual data protection, Enterprise technical security, and Microsoft not using entered data for further training.
11+Evidence (en, 5748132da23f): Copilot is the preferred tool at KU Leuven. KU Leuven has a contractual agreement with Microsoft that also covers data protection. In addition, our Enterprise environment provides the best technical security, Microsoft does not use entered data for further training, and ICTS ensures the correct settings for all logged-in users.
12+privacy: KU Leuven guidance says strictly confidential data should use only Copilot logged in with a KU Leuven account, and confidential or strictly confidential data require a security check if another AI tool is needed.
13+Evidence (en, 5748132da23f): For (strictly) confidential data: use only Copilot logged in with your KU Leuven account. For other data: choose consciously, not automatically. For non-confidential data, you may use other AI tools. For confidential or strictly confidential data, a security check of the tool is mandatory.
14+privacy: KU Leuven safe-use guidance warns users to be careful with unsupported AI tools and not to enter personal data, confidential information, IP-sensitive data, or copyrighted material.
15+Evidence (en, f68c9f404080): Online, you will find an awful lot of AI tools and more appear every day. Some of those tools are completely unreliable. Therefore, be extra careful when using unsupported tools and when sharing your data. Never fill in personal data, confidential (company) information like IP sensitive data and/or copyrighted material
16+research: KU Leuven research guidance says GenAI use needs to be reported transparently whenever new output is generated in scientific publications, project applications, or doctoral theses.
17+Evidence (en, cc24c98e41ff): Transparency about the use of GenAI in scientific publications, project applications and doctoral theses The use of GenAI needs to be reported in a transparent manner whenever new output is generated.
