The Academic Integrity Policy and the Procedures for Managing Allegations of Academic Misconduct, available on the UL Policy hub, indicate that it is a breach of academic integrity if AI is used in an unauthorised manner. In other words, it is the responsibility of the module leader/equivalent to decide and communicate the level of acceptable use of AI to students i.e. to determine what is authorised/unauthorised use.

Enseñanza

University of Limerick guidance says legitimate AI use in academia is a local decision, with module coordinators, programme leads, or Heads of Department setting limits within module or programme design.

Evidencia original

Evidencia 1
Given the variety of offerings, disciplines and courses, the question of legitimate use of AI within academia, will inevitably be a local decision. That is, a module coordinator, programme lead or Head of Department, will dictate the limits of legitimate uses of AI within module or programme design, in keeping with the module or programme aims and content.
