KU Leuven is open to the use of generative AI (GenAI) in teaching and research, and encourages students, lecturers, researchers and staff to use this technology in a responsible and critical manner.

KU Leuven student guidance says clear misuse of GenAI, where output is largely generated by GenAI and the student is not transparent about tool use, can be considered an irregularity under Article 84 of the Education and Examination Regulations.

KU Leuven teaching guidance expects teaching staff to clearly inform students whether GenAI may be used for assignments and expects students to be transparent about GenAI use so assessment can be fair and correct.
