Effective September 29, 2026, setting 'Permitted AI Use' is mandatory for all assignment creation in UTOL (UTokyo Online Learning), requiring course instructors to designate a standardized permission level or provide explicit custom instructions.
UTOL assignments classify permitted generative AI use into six standardized ranges (T0 No AI Use; T1 questions/research only; T2 discussion/idea-bouncing; T3 feedback; T4 drafting; T5 creative use) or 'Other' with required written explanation.
The University of Tokyo educational AI framework classifies typical AI use scenarios into five sequential categories (S1 questions/research; S2 discussion/idea-bouncing; S3 feedback; S4 drafting; S5 creative use) mapping directly to UTOL assignment permission labels T0–T5.
Generative AI tool licensing and technical availability never grant automatic coursework assessment permission; use in assignments or exams is strictly governed by the course instructor's syllabus and UTOL assignment settings.

UTokyo warns students to never input confidential information, personal information, or unpublished research results into AI tools, as the information might be leaked or used for AI training.
Under official faculty guidance and student notices, students and faculty are cautioned against information leakage: students must never input confidential information, personal information, or unpublished research results into AI tools due to potential leakage or model training use, and faculty are instructed that examination questions, being highly confidential documents, must basically (基本的に) not be input into language-generating AI in unchanged form. The separate 'Security Guidelines for Generative AI Use' (March 12, 2024) require internal UTokyo Account authentication and are held as an unverified private source.
UTokyo has established security guidelines for generative AI use (March 2024), referenced in the AI service policy.

Under Rule No. 79 (東京大学科学研究行動規範委員会規則), formal scientific research misconduct investigations establish procedural timelines qualified in principle (原則として): the preliminary inquiry results must be reported to the Committee Chair in principle within 30 days of receiving an allegation (Art. 8(5)); the Investigation Committee commences formal investigation in principle within 30 days of the decision to investigate (Art. 9(2)); the Committee makes its adjudication determination in principle within 150 days of starting formal investigation (Art. 11(1)); respondent defense opportunity is granted in principle within 14 days of receiving draft determination notification (Art. 11(7)); and a respondent against whom misconduct was determined may file an objection/appeal to the Committee Chair in principle within 30 days of receiving the determination notice under Art. 11(11) (Art. 12(1)). These clocks apply exclusively to scientific research misconduct proceedings and do not govern undergraduate or generic coursework discipline.
