Course-specific decisions, not universal assessment permission.

Policies on the use of generative AI vary across courses, programmes, departments and faculties. It is your responsibility to make sure you are familiar with the policy that applies to your studies. About the guidance This guidance outlines the principles that frame decisions on the use of generative AI in courses at the University of Gothenburg. It also clarifies students’ responsibility to comply with those decisions. This guidance outlines information relevant to all students, such as: the principles underlying course policies on generative AI, the definition and limitations of generative AI, products licensed by the University, and how generative AI may affect learning, the rules and regulations governing the use of generative AI during examinations, and what is considered cheating. Differences between courses Decisions about the use of generative AI in university courses are based on three things: the course’s intended learning outcomes existing rules and regulations the University’s vision, values, and sustainability commitments. Since learning outcomes vary across courses, programs, and departments, generative AI policies will vary too. Course-specific decisions about generative AI Decisions on the use of generative AI are made at the course level based on the course’s intended learning outcomes. The decisions must align with the University’s rules and regulations, mission and values, and its commitment to integrating sustainable development into all operations, including teaching. Course-specific decisions about generative AI must be clearly communicated to students, together with an explanation of when the use of generative AI is permitted, restricted, or prohibited. Students are responsible for following these decisions and abiding by any course-specific limitations on the use of generative AI in coursework and examinations. If students are required to use generative AI in a course, all students must have access to the same licence. Generative AI and the University’s vision and values The University of Gothenburg is a government authority and operates within a framework of laws, regulations, and public responsibilities. As a government authority, the University is required to work for sustainable development and provide evidence-based education that benefits society as a whole. This means that the use of generative AI may be limited or prohibited in courses based on considerations related to learning, data protection and privacy, GDPR, ethics and sustainability.

Generative AI and the rules for examinations In the context of examinations, the University of Gothenburg considers generative AI a “tool” governed by the Rules for Studies at the First- and Second-Cycle Level. The rules especially relevant to the use of generative AI are listed below. Click on the text to read the explanation. Grading decisions are to be based on the individual student’s performance in relation to the intended learning outcomes of the course. (Section B, rule 28) Examiners must assess a student’s individual performance when determining the student’s grade. Consequently, you are not permitted to submit AI-generated content as your own work, or to use it in ways that prevent your teacher from assessing your own knowledge and abilities during examinations. If an examiner suspects that a student has used generative AI to cheat during an examination, the case must be investigated. If the suspicion remains after the investigation, the case is reported to the Vice-Chancellor and may be considered by the University’s Disciplinary Board. Students shall be informed of aids that are permitted or prohibited for use during an examination. (Section B, rule 37) In some courses, generative AI products can be considered prohibited aids. The course coordinator must therefore inform students about the rules governing the use of generative AI in relation to examinations. This information should be provided in a timely manner, so students have adequate time to prepare for the examination. Students are responsible for familiarising themselves with the applicable rules for examination for their own course. (Section B, rule 39) Students are responsible for reading and following the rules and regulations governing the use of generative AI in their courses. As a rule, all aids are permitted for take-home examinations, written tasks or equivalent. (Section B, rule 95) Since generative AI products can be considered aids, generative AI use may be permitted, restricted, or prohibited at the course level for take-home examinations, written tasks, or similar assignments. If a student is allowed to use generative AI, that student may not present AI-generated content as their own work, as this is considered cheating.

Disciplinära åtgärder De disciplinära åtgärderna är varning eller avstängning från utbildningen i maximalt sex månader. Den vanligaste åtgärden som beslutas när en student försökt vilseleda vid examination är avstängning från utbildningen i sex veckor. Avstängning från studier En avstängning börjar vanligtvis gälla från dagen efter disciplinnämndens sammanträde. Under avstängningen får du inte: Delta i undervisning, laborationer eller annat arbete inom ramen för utbildningen vid Göteborgs universitet. Vistas i universitetets undervisningslokaler. Delta i prov eller studieresor. Avstängningen kan påverka din rätt till studiemedel från CSN. Varning Om disciplinnämnden beslutar om varning kan du fortsätta dina studier som vanligt. Disciplinnämnden kan se allvarligare på en ny disciplinär förseelse om du tidigare har meddelats en varning. Anmälan och handläggning Om du blivit anmäld misstänkt för en disciplinär förseelse kommer du att kontaktas via den e-postadress som universitet tillhandahåller, om du inte själv angett en annan e-postadress. Du kommer ha möjlighet att bemöta och ge förklaring till uppgifterna i anmälan. I avvaktan på beslut i disciplinärendet får du delta i undervisning och examinationer. Det finns en handläggningsordning som beskriver hur handläggningen av disciplinärendet går till och hur ansvaret för uppgifter i handläggningen är fördelat inom Göteborgs universitet.

Överklagande Om du tycker att disciplinnämndens beslut om avstängning eller varning är felaktigt kan du överklaga det till Förvaltningsrätten i Göteborg. GUS-ombuden kan hjälpa dig att skriva ett överklagande. Ett överklagande kan skickas via e-post till registrator på e-postadress registrator@gu.se, alternativt postas till följande adress: Registrator Göteborgs universitet Box 100 405 30 Göteborg Överklagandet ska ha kommit in till Göteborgs universitet inom tre veckor från den dag då du fick ta del av beslutet. Efter att överklagandet har kommit in så överlämnas det och övriga handlingar i ärendet till Förvaltningsrätten i Göteborg. Inhibition Om du blivit avstängd kan du i överklagandet även begära inhibition.

ChatGPT Edu is course-dependent; access does not authorise an assessment.

Licensed products If you, as a student, are permitted or required to use generative AI in a course, you should use licensed products procured by the University of Gothenburg, since these are provided under agreements governing how user data is processed and stored. At the time of writing, all students have access to a University-procured Copilot (Microsoft) licence. Some students may also receive access to a ChatGPT Edu (OpenAI) licence when enrolled in certain courses. As stated above, if students are required to use generative AI in a course, all students must have access to the same licence. Copyright or sensitive information Even when using a University-procured licence, students may not upload material that is protected by copyright or that contains personal data or other sensitive information. Students should be aware that AI-generated content may closely resemble material created by humans. In such cases, AI-generated content may be subject to copyright, and students should not assume that they own or may freely use content generated by an AI product. Furthermore, under current legislation, copyright protection only applies to works created by humans. This means that content generated by AI is generally not protected by copyright law. Copyright may arise in works created with the assistance of AI when the human contribution is sufficiently original and substantial.

Detector rule is separate from similarity/plagiarism checks.

Generative AI detection products The University considers AI-detection products unreliable and therefore does not accept AI-detection reports as proof that a student produced the work they submitted for examination. Additional guidance If you have questions about using generative AI for coursework and examinations, contact your course coordinator.
