StudySkills@Sheffield guidance says GenAI detection tools are not used at the University of Sheffield because of error-rate and false-positive or false-negative concerns.

Sheffield PGR guidance says postgraduate researchers' use of generative AI must align with the University's expectations for responsible research and academic integrity.

The PGR guidance says researchers must ensure confidential, proprietary, or personally identifiable information is never uploaded to any GenAI platform.

IT Services productivity principles say only University-approved AI tools should be used for official University business, and staff have access to Google Gemini as the institutionally supported GenAI tool.

IT Services productivity principles say AI use must comply with GDPR and University data-protection policies, and sensitive or confidential information must not be entered into public or unregulated AI models.

Student academic-integrity guidance tells students to check school or department guidance and module assessment criteria before using GenAI, because use may be prohibited on some modules or assessments.

Student academic-integrity guidance says a full disclosure of GenAI-produced content should always be acknowledged, and passing off that content as one's own work counts as academic misconduct.

IT Services productivity principles say GenAI use is optional except where a team has adopted it for specific tasks, and it is a supportive resource rather than a mandatory requirement for any role.
