11 # Uppsala University AI policy record
2+privacy: Uppsala University's central guidelines say sensitive personal data may only be transferred to a university-approved generative AI system, and student material may not be transferred without the student's permission to a generative AI system that might use it to train the system.
3+Evidence (sv, 486996c87eca): Känsliga personuppgifter får endast överföras till ett av universitet godkänt system för generativ AI. Utan tillstånd från student får studenters material inte överföras till system för generativ AI som kan tänkas använda det för att träna systemen.
4+teaching: Uppsala University's central generative AI guidelines say that any restriction on generative AI use in teaching or assessment, and any requirement to report AI use, must be clearly stated in written information; restrictions must be justifiable by learning outcomes, the nature of the task, or pedagogical considerations.
5+Evidence (sv, 486996c87eca): Om användningen av generativ AI är begränsad vid undervisning och/eller examination, ska detta tydligt framgå av skriftlig information. Begränsningen ska kunna motiveras utifrån kunskapsmål, uppgiftens karaktär eller pedagogiska överväganden. Vid undervisning och examination ska det även tydligt framgå av skriftlig information om användning av generativ AI ska redovisas.
6+ai_tool_treatment: When students are expected to use generative AI in teaching or assessment, Uppsala University's central guidelines say the course coordinator or examiner must be able to ensure the tools are provided at no cost to the student; if doctoral students are expected to use generative AI, the principal supervisor has responsibility for ensuring suitable tools are available at no cost.
7+Evidence (sv, 486996c87eca): Om studenter förutsätts att använda generativ AI inom undervisning eller examination, måste kursansvarig/examinator kunna tillse att verktyg tillhandahålls utan kostnad för studenten. Om doktorander förutsätts att använda generativ AI, ligger ansvaret på huvudhandledaren att tillse att lämpliga verktyg är tillgängliga utan kostnad för doktoranden.
8+academic_integrity: Uppsala University's central guidelines say a person who has used AI-generated material is responsible for how it is used, and that academic probity, a critical attitude to the reliability of the material, and ethical considerations must guide the use.
9+Evidence (sv, 486996c87eca): Den person som tagit AI-genererat material i bruk ansvarar för hur det används. Akademisk redlighet, ett kritiskt förhållningsätt till materialets pålitlighet samt etiska överväganden ska genomsyra användningen.
10+academic_integrity: Uppsala University's central guidelines state that students who plan to use generative AI in connection with teaching or assessment are responsible for keeping informed about both central guidelines and any applicable local guidelines.
11+Evidence (sv, 486996c87eca): Studenter som planerar att använda generativ AI i samband med undervisning eller examination ansvarar för att hålla sig informerade om både centrala och eventuella lokala riktlinjer.
12+academic_integrity: For courses offered by Uppsala University's Faculty of Law from the spring term of 2026, the Faculty guidelines say AI-generated material is not permitted in assessment components unless course documentation explicitly states otherwise; AI-based proofreading tools may be used without reporting, but not for generating new content.
13+Evidence (en, 4a5b77117ca1): These guidelines apply to all courses offered by the Faculty of Law and concern the use of generative AI tools (GAI) in assessment. ... The use of AI-generated material (e.g., text, images, or data) is not permitted in assessment components. ... GAI tools may only be used in assessment if this is explicitly stated in the course documentation for the relevant course. AI-based tools may be used for proofreading, but not for generating new content. The use of such tools for proofreading does not need to be reported.
14+ai_tool_treatment: Uppsala University's student AI-tool page says students have free access to Copilot, and that when students log in with their student account, their interactions are covered by the university's Microsoft data-protection agreement, chat data is not saved, and data is not used to train Copilot's large language models.
15+Evidence (en, 3acf265249f0): Students at Uppsala University have free access to the AI tool Copilot. When you log in with your student account, using Copilot is as safe as using other Microsoft online services (M365). When you log in, your interactions with Copilot are safeguarded through the university’s agreement for data protection with Microsoft ... chat data is not saved ... and no data is used to train the LLMs.
16+academic_integrity: Uppsala University's student guidance says students with questions about generative AI use in a course should contact their teacher; it also says prohibited generative AI use can be reported to the university disciplinary board and may lead to sanctions such as suspension.
17+Evidence (en, 762f5f7fa210): If you have any questions about the use of generative AI in your course, please contact your teacher. Sometimes it is difficult to know where to draw the line between permissible and prohibited use of generative AI. If there is suspicion of prohibited use of genAI, this can be reported to the Disciplinary Board at Uppsala University, which may lead to sanctions such as suspension.
18+source_status: Uppsala University's local AI-guidelines index says more institutions, programmes, units, and departments at the university are producing their own AI-use guidelines; the same page states that the university-wide guideline applies from 20 January 2025 and covers education at all levels through doctoral education.
19+Evidence (sv, 693c2365c604): Fler och fler institutioner, program, enheter och avdelningar vid Uppsala universitet tar fram egna riktlinjer för AI-användning. På denna sida samlar vi de lokala riktlinjerna för AI. ... Universitetet har fått sin första universitetsövergripande riktlinje för AI i undervisningen. Riktlinjen gäller från den 20 januari 2025. De nya riktlinjerna omfattar utbildning på alla nivåer från grundnivå till och med forskarutbildning.
20+teaching: Uppsala University's staff examination guidance advises teachers to use UU's Copilot and remove identifying information if uploading student texts for AI-assisted feedback, and says that for now it is wise to refrain from letting AI grade exams.
21+Evidence (en, 93bd58a7a863): Use UU’s Copilot if you upload students’ texts - not just any tools. And remove all identifying information from the text before uploading it. ... The EU AI Act considers examination to be a critical area where extra high demands are placed on users of generative AI, and for now, it is wise to refrain from letting AI grade exams.
