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.
