19 reviewed claims

The University of Edinburgh does not ban generative AI by students, though its use is restricted for much assessed work. Permissions are set at assessment and course level, students must acknowledge GenAI use before submitting assessed work, and AI agents or AI browsers must not be used to complete work inside virtual learning environments, with third-party AI translation apps also not permitted in class. ELM (Edinburgh access to Language Models) is the university's own platform for safer access to generative AI, and presenting AI-generated content as one's own work is academic misconduct.

Summary of the 19 agent-reviewed claims in this record, with their original scope. No student policy snapshot has been published for this university yet, and this summary is not an official university statement.
