Citation-ready overview

Reviewed claims

At CUHK, improper or unauthorized use of AI tools in learning activities and assessments constitutes academic dishonesty and is subject to penalties including failure grade, suspension, or termination of studies.

CUHK requires students to declare in each assignment that they have read and understood the University's policy on AI use, complied with course teacher instructions on AI tools, and consent to AI content detection software review.

CUHK defines four approaches to AI use in courses: (1) prohibit all use, (2) use only with prior permission, (3) use only with explicit acknowledgement, and (4) free use without acknowledgement requirement.

CUHK penalties for academic dishonesty involving AI tools may include reviewable/permanent demerits, failure grade, suspension, lowering degree classification, and termination of studies.

CUHK provides Microsoft Copilot Chat (Basic) free to all students and staff under the Microsoft 365 license, with enterprise data protection when signed in with CUHK account.

CUHK's student AI guide establishes ethical principles of accountability, transparency, and acknowledgement for AI tool use. Users are accountable for AI-generated outputs and must fact-check all outputs.

CUHK provides M365 Copilot (Premium) as a charged service for staff, project accounts, and departmental accounts, integrating with Microsoft 365 apps for AI-powered productivity.

CUHK emphasizes responsible and ethical use of generative AI in education, prohibiting unauthorized AI use in assignments while allowing its use under specific conditions with proper citation and permissions.

CUHK advises using Microsoft Copilot with CUHK institutional sign-in for data protection, as user and business data is protected and not used to train underlying models.

CUHK's AI guide applies to teaching, learning, and assessments. For research contexts (capstone courses, theses), students must also refer to separate Guidelines on the Responsible Use of AI for Research.

CUHK ITSC provides AI Hub @ CUHK as a one-stop hub for AI resources at the University, offering an overview of AI tools and services for teaching, learning, research, and work.
