22 ## Newly extracted tracker claim
33 This claim was newly extracted or newly promoted in the tracker release. It is not necessarily newly published by the university.
4+academic_integrity: USI teaching-staff recommendations strongly discourage reliance on tools designed to detect GenAI-generated text, saying suspected misuse should follow normal misconduct procedures defined in faculty study regulations.
5+Evidence (en, b3622234b5f3): However, it is strongly discouraged to rely on tools designed to detect text generated with the help of Gen AI (e.g. ChatGPTzero and similar). These tools are still unreliable and of little use, as they only provide a statistical estimate without offering any definite proof of the actual use of such tools.

47 ## Newly extracted tracker claim
58 This claim was newly extracted or newly promoted in the tracker release. It is not necessarily newly published by the university.
9+ai_tool_treatment: USI's general rule permits use of generative AI tools unless a specific activity explicitly prohibits them, and says use must be correctly acknowledged.
10+Evidence (en, ce40274d906f): As a general rule the use of generative AI tools is thus permitted, unless explicitly prohibited for a specific activity (e.g. exam, assignment, specific tasks, etc.). However, their use must always be correctly acknowledged.

14+privacy: USI recommendations say GenAI use should account for data protection and that confidential documents and sensitive data should not be shared with GenAI tools.
15+Evidence (en, 9d961559b95a): Gen AI must be used critically, competently and responsibly, paying particular attention to the trustworthiness of the answers provided, data protection, environmental sustainability aspects, and ensuring that confidential documents and sensitive data are not shared.

24+academic_integrity: USI student recommendations say students must follow teachers' instructions for GenAI use in written work; complete drafting of exam papers, dissertations, or final papers with GenAI is generally not permitted, and unauthorised use is academic fraud subject to study-regulation penalties.
25+Evidence (en, 9d961559b95a): In general, when writing exam papers, final papers, theses, etc., students are required to strictly follow their teachers' instructions regarding the use of Gen AI tools. As a general rule, the use of Gen AI tools for the complete drafting of exam papers, dissertations, final papers, etc. is not permitted.

How to read this diff
Tracker release metadata, not direct proof of university publication timing.
Newly extracted claims are tracker additions and are not necessarily newly published by the university. Source snapshot changes mean the same URL produced a different hash; that may be policy text, layout, navigation, or metadata.

Tracker metadata only
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.
