And existing VU policies around ownership, scientific integrity, privacy, personal data, and knowledge security must be taken into account. Transparency: Be transparent, clearly indicate which parts of your research were done using GenAI.

VU Amsterdam's framework says AI detectors are not permitted because they are unreliable and do not meet VU privacy requirements.

VU Amsterdam's framework says the lecturer or examiner indicates in the study guide, syllabus, or Canvas whether and how use of generative AI is allowed for a course, with course learning objectives remaining leading.
