Privacy

Uppsala University's central guidelines say sensitive personal data may only be transferred to a university-approved generative AI system, and student material may not be transferred without the student's permission to a generative AI system that might use it to train the system.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Normalized value: sensitive_personal_data_only_to_approved_ai_systems_student_material_requires_permission_for_training_risk_systems

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Känsliga personuppgifter får endast överföras till ett av universitet godkänt system för generativ AI. Utan tillstånd från student får studenters material inte överföras till system för generativ AI som kan tänkas använda det för att träna systemen.

Localized display only

Sensitive personal data may only be transferred to a university-approved generative AI system, and student material may not be transferred without permission to systems that may train on it.

Teaching

Uppsala University's central generative AI guidelines say that any restriction on generative AI use in teaching or assessment, and any requirement to report AI use, must be clearly stated in written information; restrictions must be justifiable by learning outcomes, the nature of the task, or pedagogical considerations.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: ai_restrictions_and_reporting_requirements_must_be_written_and_justified

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Om användningen av generativ AI är begränsad vid undervisning och/eller examination, ska detta tydligt framgå av skriftlig information. Begränsningen ska kunna motiveras utifrån kunskapsmål, uppgiftens karaktär eller pedagogiska överväganden. Vid undervisning och examination ska det även tydligt framgå av skriftlig information om användning av generativ AI ska redovisas.

Localized display only

Restrictions or reporting requirements for generative AI in teaching or assessment must be clear in written information and restrictions must be justified by learning outcomes, task character, or pedagogy.

Ai Tool Treatment

When students are expected to use generative AI in teaching or assessment, Uppsala University's central guidelines say the course coordinator or examiner must be able to ensure the tools are provided at no cost to the student; if doctoral students are expected to use generative AI, the principal supervisor has responsibility for ensuring suitable tools are available at no cost.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: required_ai_tools_must_be_available_without_student_or_doctoral_student_cost

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Om studenter förutsätts att använda generativ AI inom undervisning eller examination, måste kursansvarig/examinator kunna tillse att verktyg tillhandahålls utan kostnad för studenten. Om doktorander förutsätts att använda generativ AI, ligger ansvaret på huvudhandledaren att tillse att lämpliga verktyg är tillgängliga utan kostnad för doktoranden.

Localized display only

If students are expected to use generative AI, the course coordinator or examiner must ensure tools are provided at no cost; for doctoral students, the principal supervisor has that responsibility.

Academic Integrity

Uppsala University's central guidelines say a person who has used AI-generated material is responsible for how it is used, and that academic probity, a critical attitude to the reliability of the material, and ethical considerations must guide the use.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: users_responsible_for_ai_generated_material_and_must_apply_probity_critical_review_ethics

Evidence 1
Den person som tagit AI-genererat material i bruk ansvarar för hur det används. Akademisk redlighet, ett kritiskt förhållningsätt till materialets pålitlighet samt etiska överväganden ska genomsyra användningen.

The person who uses AI-generated material is responsible for how it is used, and academic probity, critical review of reliability, and ethical considerations must guide use.

Academic Integrity

Uppsala University's central guidelines state that students who plan to use generative AI in connection with teaching or assessment are responsible for keeping informed about both central guidelines and any applicable local guidelines.

Academic Integrity

For courses offered by Uppsala University's Faculty of Law from the spring term of 2026, the Faculty guidelines say AI-generated material is not permitted in assessment components unless course documentation explicitly states otherwise; AI-based proofreading tools may be used without reporting, but not for generating new content.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: faculty_of_law_assessment_no_ai_generated_material_unless_course_documentation_allows_proofreading_allowed

Original evidence

Evidence 1
These guidelines apply to all courses offered by the Faculty of Law and concern the use of generative AI tools (GAI) in assessment. ... The use of AI-generated material (e.g., text, images, or data) is not permitted in assessment components. ... GAI tools may only be used in assessment if this is explicitly stated in the course documentation for the relevant course. AI-based tools may be used for proofreading, but not for generating new content. The use of such tools for proofreading does not need to be reported.

Localized display only

Faculty of Law assessment guidance prohibits AI-generated material in assessment components unless course documentation explicitly permits it; proofreading tools may be used without reporting.

Ai Tool Treatment

Uppsala University's student AI-tool page says students have free access to Copilot, and that when students log in with their student account, their interactions are covered by the university's Microsoft data-protection agreement, chat data is not saved, and data is not used to train Copilot's large language models.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students at Uppsala University have free access to the AI tool Copilot. When you log in with your student account, using Copilot is as safe as using other Microsoft online services (M365). When you log in, your interactions with Copilot are safeguarded through the university’s agreement for data protection with Microsoft ... chat data is not saved ... and no data is used to train the LLMs.

Students have free Copilot access; when logged in with a student account, Copilot interactions are covered by Uppsala's Microsoft data-protection agreement and are not used to train LLMs.

Academic Integrity

Uppsala University's student guidance says students with questions about generative AI use in a course should contact their teacher; it also says prohibited generative AI use can be reported to the university disciplinary board and may lead to sanctions such as suspension.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence89%

Normalized value: students_should_contact_teacher_for_course_ai_questions_and_prohibited_use_may_be_disciplined

Original evidence

Evidence 1
If you have any questions about the use of generative AI in your course, please contact your teacher. Sometimes it is difficult to know where to draw the line between permissible and prohibited use of generative AI. If there is suspicion of prohibited use of genAI, this can be reported to the Disciplinary Board at Uppsala University, which may lead to sanctions such as suspension.

Localized display only

Student guidance directs course-specific AI questions to the teacher and says suspected prohibited use can be reported to the disciplinary board and may lead to sanctions.
