Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: assessment_ai_authorized_and_acknowledged

Source Status
Australian Catholic University has an official AI principles policy for teaching, research and research training that applies to University Members, staff and students.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: formal_ai_principles_policy
Original evidence
Evidence 1This Policy aims to ensure that adoption of Artificial Intelligence in ACU's education, research, research training and operations is undertaken ethically, responsibly, fairly and lawfully. This Policy applies to all University Members, staff and students.
Ai Tool Treatment
ACU's AI principles say AI must supplement rather than replace human decision-making, with humans retaining responsibility, and require privacy risks to be assessed and mitigated for AI-related activities.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: human_oversight_and_privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Artificial Intelligence must only be used as a tool to supplement human decision-making rather than replace it. Humans retain active responsibility for decisions made with Artificial Intelligence support. The respect for privacy is to be upheld in all Artificial Intelligence related activities at ACU.
Research
ACU research guidance says HDR candidates should declare GenAI use for thesis copyediting/proofreading, discuss intended research use with supervisors, record and acknowledge tool usage and prompts, and should not input sensitive or confidential information into GenAI tools.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: hdr_genai_declare_acknowledge_no_sensitive_information
Original evidence
Evidence 1HDR candidates should, for thesis preparation, only use GenAI specifically for copyediting and proofreading and this use should be declared; discuss intended GenAI use with supervisors; record and acknowledge tool usage and all prompts; and not input sensitive or confidential information into GenAI tools.
Teaching
ACU Library guidance tells students that GenAI may be permitted in some contexts, but assessment use should be clearly authorized and acknowledged, and final work should reflect the student's own analysis and understanding.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: student_guidance_contextual_authorization_acknowledgement
Original evidence
Evidence 1GenAI may be permitted in some contexts, but its use must be explicitly allowed - particularly in assessment tasks. Always refer to your unit outline or tutor's instructions. If GenAI use is not clearly authorised, it should not be used.
