Added
NTU’s dated 24 June 2025 statement says GenAI is generally permitted in assignments, but professors may prohibit it for specific pedagogical reasons communicated to students. Students are expected to declare use and how it was used, and remain responsible for accuracy and citations. This is a dated institutional statement, not the complete current internal teaching policy or permission for every assessment.
Added
NTU Library instructs students to obtain explicit instructor permission for more extensive AI involvement, such as generating source materials or enhancing visuals.
Exams · Records involved: 1 (1 added)
Added
NTU Library instructs students not to access AI tools during examinations when external resources are not permitted. This condition does not establish either a ban in every exam or automatic AI permission in open-resource exams.

Site conclusion text changes
Old text
NTU requires students to disclose the use of AI tools in their submissions and to always refer to their module's AI use policy for specific expectations.
New text
NTU Library instructs students to disclose AI-tool use in their submissions and follow their module’s AI-use policy and instructor guidance. The required level of documentation and disclosure format depend on the assignment and instructor’s expectations; detailed prompt-and-output records and a particular declaration form are not universal requirements.
Added
For some assignments, instructors may require AI process records. NTU Library’s tracking template may be used or adapted when record-keeping is required or recommended, following the instructor’s format and level of detail.
Added
From November 2025, NTU’s thesis/dissertation Statement of Originality includes an AI-use disclosure section. The required declarations form part of thesis submission requirements; the source does not establish a single faculty-independent template.

Old text
NTU states that the use of generative AI beyond basic spelling and grammar checks should be acknowledged and cited in research outputs, publications, and presentations.
New text
NTU research policy states that GenAI use beyond basic spelling and grammar checks should be acknowledged and cited, identifying the tool’s full name and version, purpose and use in research proposals, manuscripts and scholarly works.
Comparable old and new text is unavailable.
Old text
NTU states that generative AI should not be listed as an author of any paper with NTU affiliation, or as a Principal Investigator, Co-PI, or collaborator in research proposals.
New text
NTU states that generative AI should not be listed as an author of any paper with NTU affiliation, or as a Principal Investigator, Co-PI, or collaborator in research proposals.
Added
AI-generated research visuals must not be presented as actual experimental data unless AI or AI-assisted tools are an essential component of the research design and/or methodology. Using AI to fabricate images resembling experimental results constitutes serious research misconduct.
Added
NTU prohibits substantive AI modification of genuine experimental images unless clearly described in the methodology.
Added
When an agency, journal or other receiving party has GenAI rules that differ from NTU research policy, researchers should follow the stricter rules.
Added
NTU requires AI-generated research images, figures and videos to be clearly labelled and the methods, tools and parameters documented sufficiently for reproducibility.
Academic integrity · Records involved: 3 (2 corrected / adjusted · 1 added)

Old text
NTU states that not citing or acknowledging the use of generative AI could be considered plagiarism (a form of research misconduct), especially if GenAI was used to generate ideas or for literature reviews.

NTU states that not citing or acknowledging the use of generative AI could be considered plagiarism (a form of research misconduct), especially if GenAI was used to generate ideas or for literature reviews.
Added
The Vice President (Research) reviews the RIO preliminary report and may take appropriate action, decide whether to invite the Provost to appoint a COI for faculty/research staff, or decide whether to refer a student to the Board of Discipline. This is a research-misconduct process, not an automatic AI penalty or a finding of guilt.
Teaching · Records involved: 1 (1 held)
Retained historical text; this does not mean the university repealed a rule.
NTU guidelines state that AI detector tools should be used with caution due to frequent false positives and negatives, ease of bypass, and bias against non-native English writing patterns.
