Een student kan niet verplicht worden om van AI-tools gebruik te maken waar de VU geen licentie voor heeft. Studenten, docenten en ondersteunend personeel verwerken geen persoonsgegevens of andere vertrouwelijke gegevens in AI-tools vanwege de risico’s met betrekking tot gegevensbescherming.

Evidence-backed claims

VU Amsterdam's framework says students cannot be required to use AI tools for which VU has no license, and students, lecturers, and support staff do not process personal data or other confidential data in AI tools.

VU Amsterdam's framework says AI detectors are not permitted because they are unreliable and do not meet VU privacy requirements.

VU Amsterdam's framework says the lecturer or examiner indicates in the study guide, syllabus, or Canvas whether and how use of generative AI is allowed for a course, with course learning objectives remaining leading.

VU Amsterdam's research guidance says GenAI use in research must meet scientific-research standards, take existing VU policies on ownership, scientific integrity, privacy, personal data, and knowledge security into account, and be transparent about which parts of research used GenAI.

VU Amsterdam's Dutch academic-integrity page states that work made by generative AI is not the student's own work and lists using an AI writer to write an assignment as an example of fraud.

VU Amsterdam's April 2025 Dutch framework describes the university's vision and policy for generative AI in education and gives faculties conditions for formulating their own faculty AI education policy.

VU Amsterdam's student guidance states that Microsoft Copilot is available to VU students and staff through VU credentials, that teachers cannot force ChatGPT use, and that teachers may ask students to use Microsoft Copilot via the VU license.

VU Amsterdam's Cogniti page describes Cogniti as an online-learning platform offered by VU where teachers or staff can create generative AI Agents for students, integrated into Canvas or used stand-alone at edubots.vu.nl in some cases.
