Zrecenzowane twierdzenia

Microsoft Copilot is listed for University of Birmingham in an official university AI tools source. Derived availability: allowed. Derived endorsement type: officially endorsed.

For assessments and assignments, students should assume generative AI use is not permitted unless the assessment or assignment explicitly states otherwise.

The University states that generative AI detection tools are not currently allowable and that student work should not be uploaded to generative AI detection software.

For AI-supported marking and feedback, the University says all decisions, outcomes, and feedback must be reviewed by academic staff before release to students, and generative AI tools alone cannot allocate marks and student grades.

The research AI guidance says personal, confidential, or sensitive data must not be entered into AI tools without clear justification, data minimisation, and a Data Protection Impact Assessment where applicable.

The student guidance allows use of generative AI tools as study aids for personal learning and research, while distinguishing that from submitting AI-generated output as the student's own assessment work.

The research AI guidance applies to University of Birmingham researchers using, developing, or deploying AI, and places accountability for substantive claims, interpretations, and outputs on human researchers.
