Current public record freshness and review state.

ai_tool_treatment

University of Southampton guidance lists acceptable GenAI uses such as arranged assistive technology, study-buddy support, clearly referencing GenAI use, and summarising complex ideas or academic texts; it lists copying GenAI output into work, asking GenAI to write or rewrite work, asking GenAI to answer an assessment question, and sharing module tutor materials in a GenAI tool as unacceptable uses.

teaching

University of Southampton guidance tells students to talk to their module tutor about how to use GenAI; the permitted extent and ways of use depend on the task, learning, and capabilities expected, and some activities may require a GenAI declaration statement.
