For academic materials, the guidelines say use of generative AI must be explicitly declared with the tool, version, and purpose; not declaring AI use is described as a violation of academic integrity rules.

The guidelines list non-appropriate or non-permitted academic uses of AI, including creating entire written content with AI, using unrevised AI-generated code, using AI-generated code in university exams, and using AI to evaluate exam or selection materials.

The guidelines tell teachers and students to use AI tools safely and appropriately, avoiding confidential information, unpublished research data, and third-party personal data unless confidentiality, consent, or another suitable legal basis is in place.

The guidelines treat generative AI as support for teaching, learning, and research, not a replacement for human work; AI-generated content should be examined, approved, modified, and supervised by a human author.

University of Parma has official 2025 guidelines for responsible use of generative AI in teaching and research, approved by the Academic Senate and Board of Directors.
