The research guidance applies to Queen’s researchers across the research lifecycle.
Academic Integrity
Queen's assessment guidance says module staff will clarify if and how AI can be used in assessment, and students should consult their tutor if in doubt.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: module-level clarification for AI use in assessment
Original evidence
Evidence 1This academic year, those delivering modules will clarify if and how AI can be used when completing assessment. If students have any doubt about how AI can be used, they should consult with their tutor.
Localized display only
Module staff clarify if and how AI may be used; students should ask tutors if unsure.
Teaching
Queen's AI position page says its staff and student AI guidance is based on RAISE principles: responsible use, AI best practice, integrity, support, and equitable access.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: RAISE principles frame staff and student AI guidance
Original evidence
Evidence 1This section brings together tailored QUB guidance for staff and students. This includes recommendations on how to get started as well as more specific guidance on the use of AI, for example within assessment. Our guidance is based on the following principles: R esponsible use, A I best practice, I ntegrity, S upport and E quitable Access – collectively RAISE.
Localized display only
QUB describes its staff and student AI guidance as based on Responsible use, AI best practice, Integrity, Support and Equitable Access.
Academic Integrity
Queen's assessment guidance says students who misuse AI will be subject to the University's academic misconduct regulations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: AI misuse subject to academic misconduct regulations
Original evidence
Evidence 1Students need to be fully aware of when and how they can use AI in assessments, including any limitations on certain tools or the need to cite or document how AI has been used. If students misuse AI, they will be subject to the University's academic misconduct regulations .
Localized display only
AI misuse in assessment is linked to the University’s academic misconduct regulations.
Research
Queen's responsible AI research guidance expects material AI use in research to be clearly documented and acknowledged, with researchers validating AI-generated content.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: document acknowledge and validate material AI use in research
Original evidence
Evidence 1All use of AI in research must be clearly documented and acknowledged, especially where it constitutes material use in the research process/output. Researchers are expected to validate AI-generated content and uphold the standards of academic honesty, avoiding misrepresentation or plagiarism.
Localized display only
Material research AI use should be documented and acknowledged, and AI-generated content validated.
Ai Tool Treatment
Queen's assessment guidance says text-based AI detectors are not recommended because current tools cannot definitively identify AI-authored content and can produce false positives.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: text-based AI detectors not recommended
Original evidence
Evidence 1Current tools that attempt to detect AI generated text – whether by analysing writing styles, using machine learning classification, or watermarking – cannot definitively identify AI-authored content. Worryingly, these systems often produce an unacceptably high rate of false positives. In the future, with the integration of AI writing tools into platforms like Microsoft Word and Google Workplace, it is anticipated that much of our writing will include AI-generated elements. This will be similar to how we currently benefit from algorithm-driven spell checkers and grammar tools. Considering these factors, the use of text-based AI detectors is not recommended.
Localized display only
The assessment page says current AI text detectors cannot definitively identify AI-authored content and are not recommended.
Research
Queen's research AI guidance says AI use in projects involving human participants, personal data, or sensitive information must be outlined in ethics applications.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: AI use involving participants or sensitive data in ethics applications
Original evidence
Evidence 1Researchers using AI in projects involving human participants, personal data, or sensitive information must explicitly outline AI usage in their ethics applications. Ethics applications must include clear details about how AI will be used in data collection, analysis, or management, and how participants’ data privacy will be protected.
Localized display only
AI use with human participants, personal data, or sensitive information must be outlined in ethics applications.

Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ethical judgment and permission before submitting data to AI tools
Original evidence
Evidence 1When using an AI tool, it is necessary to make an ethical judgment about the data or information that you put into the system when you use it to complete a task. Any information that is submitted to an AI tool then becomes part of the data that the tool draws upon to complete future tasks for anyone who uses the tool. You need to consider whether you have permission to submit the information that you do.
