You may use AI for an assessment if the instructions in your Course Outline permit its use.

If you are permitted to use AI for part or all of your assessment, you must: Acknowledge and reference the AI tool using the referencing style for your course and program.

You cannot use AI for an assessment when you see the Category 1 AI icon in your Course Outline under your assessment information. If you choose to use AI for an assessment that prohibits it’s use, you will be penalised for academic misconduct.

If you are enrolled in an English Language Course (e.g., FEEC, UEEC, EAE, TOP), please speak to your teacher about using AI to help you: Generate prompts to practice writing skills and improve vocabulary.

UNSW's official MyIT page says Copilot Chat is available to all UNSW staff and students. It is built into UNSW's Microsoft environment and protected under UNSW's Microsoft licence. Users sign in with their zID, zPass, and MFA; UNSW calls Copilot its official AI chat.

As a UNSW College student, you will receive access to Mentor AI. This approved UNSW College AI tool will help you to practice your writing, listening and speaking skills.

Bevisfinner: Appropriate Use of Generative AI > Guideline 5. ELICOS

The unauthorised or unacknowledged use of AI in assessments is a form of cheating and is considered to be student misconduct at UNSW under the current Code of Conduct and Values.

Bevisfinner: FAQ section 'What are the implications of unauthorised use of AI?'

The use of AI systems at UNSW benefits UNSW, individuals, society, and the environment. The use of AI systems at UNSW is equitable, and respectful of human rights, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility. AI systems and their lifecycle at UNSW are trustworthy and are used responsibly, safely, and reliably in accordance with their intended purpose. The use of AI systems is transparent, and people understand when the AI system is engaging with or impacting them, the environment, and/or society. AI systems and their lifecycle used at UNSW are identifiable, explainable, interpretable, accountable, and contestable. AI systems and their lifecycle used at UNSW are secure and resilient.

Bevisfinner: Section 'Responsible use of Generative AI tools' - AI principles

Be honest and transparent about the use of any AI tool where it would reasonably be expected that use of the tool would be disclosed.

Bevisfinner: Section 'Key principles of AI usage in assessment'

Ensure that any AI-based output is reviewed with all due diligence before being released or relied upon. This is particularly important to ensure that you avoid bias and factual errors in the output.

Bevisfinner: Section 'Key principles of AI usage in assessment'

As a rule, markers must not use AI platforms for marking or grading.

Bevisfinner: Section 'What needs to be considered before integrating AI in my assessment?' > Be clear with teaching staff

UNSW only authorises the use of Turnitin's AI Writing Detection Tool for detecting improper AI use. Students' work should not be uploaded to any other platform because: Only Turnitin has been approved by UNSW Cyber Security as protecting student privacy. The accuracy of other detection tools is extremely low.

4 The mark reduction for Minor Plagiarism should not be more than 10% of the maximum grade available. For example, if a student is found to have committed minor plagiarism, the penalty should not reduce their grade by more than 10% of the highest possible mark they could have received. For example, if the maximum mark for an assignment is 100 points, the reduction for minor plagiarism should not exceed 10 points.

All academics marking assessments submitted through either Moodle Turnitin Assignment or Inspera now have access to Turnitin's new AI detection tool. This provides academics with an estimated percentage of text that has similarities to AI-generated or AI-paraphrased text. This is not always conclusive evidence that a student has inappropriately used generative AI, however, this will be a flag for a marker to further review a student's submission.

Bevisfinner: FAQ section 'How does Turnitin's AI detection tool work?'

It's important that students are aware of what tools use generative AI and may be inappropriate in an assessment. For example, Grammarly, Quillbot and translation tools such as Google Translate, DeepL and Baidu Translate are forms of generative AI.

Bevisfinner: FAQ section 'How does Turnitin's AI detection tool work?'
