15+Evidence (en, 72a4e8604082): Below you’ll find the current collection of central and faculty-specific guidelines. This list will grow as more faculties publish their own frameworks. That means: each faculty is free to define policies that fit its teaching and research needs — while we’re also working behind the scenes on a unified, university-wide AI policy.
