Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: responsible_use_permitted_with_teacher_specific_restrictions

Privacy

Ghent University teaching guidance says lecturers and students should protect personal, privacy-sensitive, or copyright-protected data and should never upload personal or confidential information without clear permission.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: no_personal_confidential_upload_without_permission

原始证据

As a lecturer or student, you respect and protect personal, privacy-sensitive, or copyright-protected data. You never upload personal or confidential information without clear permission.

Academic Integrity

Ghent University student guidance treats irresponsible GenAI use such as plagiarism, fake data, or outsourcing the thinking process as irregularities that lead to an exam disciplinary procedure.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: irresponsible_genai_exam_disciplinary_procedure

原始证据

Evidence 1
There are some clear cases where you have used GenAI irresponsibly and thus committed an irregularity: Plagiarism is plagiarism, whether or not you used GenAI tools. You let GenAI generate fake data and use it as real data. You outsource the thinking process to GenAI. The above irregularities lead to an exam disciplinary procedure.

Teaching

Ghent University teaching guidance says responsible GenAI use is always permitted unless a lecturer explicitly prohibits it for parts of an assignment that take place in a controlled environment, and it cautions that detection tools are unreliable.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: controlled_environment_required_for_explicit_bans_detection_unreliable

原始证据

Evidence 1
Responsible GenAI use is always permitted unless a lecturer explicitly prohibits its use for parts of an assignment, requiring that assignment to take place in a controlled environment. For homework assignments, such a ban is neither possible nor desirable to enforce. The current detection tools are unreliable.

Research

Ghent University research guidance says members are expected to demonstrate research integrity, remain responsible for GenAI output, and be transparent about substantial GenAI use according to disciplinary standards.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: research_integrity_transparency_for_substantial_genai_use

原始证据

Evidence 1
As a member of Ghent University, you are expected to demonstrate research integrity. (Gen)AI may not be used to infringe upon or to justify any violation of research integrity. Researchers are transparant about substantial use of (gen)AI, according to the standards of their discipline.

Privacy

Ghent University research guidance says GDPR applies when developing AI based on personal data or processing personal data with AI in research, and that AI applications must ensure privacy and data protection throughout their lifecycle.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: gdpr_applies_to_ai_personal_data_research

原始证据

Evidence 1
When you develop artificial intelligence based on personal data or process personal data using artificial intelligence in your research, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. AI applications must therefore ensure privacy and data protection principles throughout their lifecycle, including the principles of privacy by design and privacy by default.
