Source Status

Utrecht University publishes an institutional AI Policy that is endorsed by the Executive Board and University Council and frames Responsible AI across AI systems and tools, not only generative AI.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: central institutional AI policy page

Original evidence

Evidence 1
This institutional AI policy is being endorsed by the Executive Board and the University Council and will be shaped based on legal frameworks, UU frameworks and our academic values. At UU we use the term Responsible AI by which we mean the ethical and responsible application of AI systems and tools. This is not limited to Generative AI but applies to all forms of AI.

Ai Tool Treatment

Utrecht University uses an AI index for students as a five-level scale for how AI may be used, with teachers able to choose levels for a course or specific assignments.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: student AI index levels set by course or assignment

Original evidence

Evidence 1
In education, we are working with the AI index. That is a 5-level scale indicating to what extent or how you may use generative AI or, for example, AI for data analysis etc. The teacher can choose from the 5 levels of AI use within the course as a whole, but can also choose to select different levels for specific assignments.

Privacy

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: student AI accounts should not use UU email for external tools

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Do not enter your UU student email-address for verification purposes or to create an account. Be aware that free actually means that you are paying with your data. A teacher cannot force you to create an account in an AI tool because we cannot yet offer secure AI tools from the UU.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: research GenAI input should avoid personal or sensitive data unless data protection law is respected

Do not use any personal or sensitive data as input when using GenAI tools, unless you are certain that the data protection law is respected. Many risks pertaining to GenAI are not immediately visible. In many cases, it is necessary to assess the impact of your use of GenAI on data protection and privacy.
