Affirmations révisées

Microsoft Copilot Chat is listed for University of Kent in an official university AI tools source. Derived availability: allowed. Derived endorsement type: officially endorsed.

Kent's Academic Integrity and Misconduct policy defines unauthorised AI use as using generative AI beyond the scope permitted for a specific assessment, or failing to acknowledge permitted use appropriately.

The University of Kent publishes AI principles that set expectations for responsible, ethical, lawful and effective engagement with AI across education, research and professional services.

Kent's public AI data-privacy guidance tells users not to enter personal information, confidential information, sensitive data, or other people's work into AI tools, and specifically says personal or sensitive data should never be put into ChatGPT Edu.

Kent's AI principles say academic judgement about student work remains with academic staff, and AI will not be used to make marking or academic-outcome decisions unless explicitly authorised, clearly communicated, pedagogically justified, and subject to human oversight.

Kent's student AI academic-integrity guidance says that, unless specifically instructed otherwise, submitted assessment content must always be the student's own work and students should not include AI-generated material in submissions.

Kent's public research guidance says researchers using GenAI to process data must follow the University Data Protection Policy, complete DPIA screening where relevant, record planned GenAI use in data management plans, and document GenAI use.

Kent's public Microsoft Copilot guidance says Copilot Chat is available to all students and staff using a Kent IT account, while warning users to double-check outputs and consult module convenors before using generative AI tools in assignments.

A Kent Student News announcement says the University is collaborating with OpenAI to give all students and staff free access to ChatGPT Edu, with access for students planned for April 2026.

The public AI Principles page says Kent's AI Policy Group is undertaking a university-wide review of current policies, so this run did not identify a completed central binding AI policy page beyond published principles and related guidance.
