11 # University of Malta AI policy record
2+academic_integrity: University of Malta guidance says unacknowledged work generated by AI tools is considered plagiarised work.
3+Evidence (en, 558b670f27aa): For the avoidance of doubt, the use of unacknowledged work generated by AI tools is also considered by the University as plagiarised work.
4+ai_tool_treatment: University of Malta student FAQ guidance tells students to check with their tutor before using Generative AI tools to produce answers in summative assessments.
5+Evidence (en, 558b670f27aa): Before you start working on materials submitted for assessment, you are required to check with your tutor if Generative AI tools can be used to produce answers in summative assessments.
6+teaching: University of Malta academic-staff guidelines say lecturers decide if and how Generative AI is permitted in a study-unit; if assessment instructions do not mention Generative AI, use is assumed not allowed except for listed support uses.
7+Evidence (en, 456b8c84c944): it is up to the individual lecturers, in consultation with the Board of Examiners and/or the Board of Studies, as appropriate, to determine if and how the use of Generative AI tools should be permitted within a given study-unit. If no specific mention is made regarding the use of Generative AI tools in the study-unit assessment guidelines and instructions that are made available to students through the VLE, then it is assumed that the use of these tools is not allowed except for the modalities indicated in Guideline 6.
8+academic_integrity: University of Malta academic-staff guidelines discourage use of AI writing detection tools at this stage and state that Generative AI detection software cannot be used as proof for disciplinary procedures.
9+Evidence (en, 456b8c84c944): the use of any AI writing detection tools within UM is discouraged given the unreliability of Generative AI detection software. Besides the detection accuracy concerns mentioned earlier, the students have not given their permission to upload their work to tools other than Turnitin or agreed on how their data will be stored.
10+privacy: University of Malta academic-staff guidelines warn staff to be especially careful not to include sensitive information in prompts to Generative AI tools because of privacy and data-protection concerns.
11+Evidence (en, 456b8c84c944): All University staff should be especially careful not to include any sensitive information in their prompts to these tools due to issues related to privacy and data protection.
12+academic_integrity: For the Faculty of Media & Knowledge Sciences, University of Malta guidance says students who use Generative AI should copy every prompt or query in chronological order in an appendix to their work, subject to study-unit requirements.
13+Evidence (en, 5a6c5256ee33): Copy every prompt or query you give to a generative AI model (in chronological order) in an appendix to your work. Generally, there is no need to include the actual output of the AI model, only the prompts or queries.
