Ai Tool Treatment

USI's general rule permits use of generative AI tools unless a specific activity explicitly prohibits them, and says use must be correctly acknowledged.

审核: 智能体已审核置信度95%

标准化值: permitted_unless_explicitly_prohibited_with_acknowledgement

原始证据

证据 1
As a general rule the use of generative AI tools is thus permitted, unless explicitly prohibited for a specific activity (e.g. exam, assignment, specific tasks, etc.). However, their use must always be correctly acknowledged.

原始证据

证据 2
The use of Gen AI is encouraged, unless for specific activities where it is explicitly prohibited. It is the responsibility of the teachers and the students to explicitly agree on the conditions of use of the Gen AI within courses and for writing dissertations, papers, etc.

Academic Integrity

USI student recommendations say students must follow teachers' instructions for GenAI use in written work; complete drafting of exam papers, dissertations, or final papers with GenAI is generally not permitted, and unauthorised use is academic fraud subject to study-regulation penalties.

标准化值: students_follow_teacher_instructions_complete_drafting_not_permitted_unauthorized_use_academic_fraud

原始证据

证据 1
In general, when writing exam papers, final papers, theses, etc., students are required to strictly follow their teachers' instructions regarding the use of Gen AI tools. As a general rule, the use of Gen AI tools for the complete drafting of exam papers, dissertations, final papers, etc. is not permitted.

原始证据

证据 2
It is their responsibility to follow the instructions received from their teachers: unauthorised use of Gen AI tools is considered academic fraud and, as such, is subject to the penalties provided for in the respective study regulations.

Source Status

USI maintains a public generative-AI guidance hub and June 2025 recommendations for both students and teaching staff; the Desk page says those recommendations expand and replace earlier 2023 communications.

In June 2025, the Recommendations on the use of generative AI in education for USI's faculty and students have been published. These documents expand and replace previous communications of 2023.

原始证据

证据 2
Building on this, practical recommendations have been developed for both teaching staff and students.

教学

USI teaching-staff recommendations advise teachers to clearly communicate what students should, can, and cannot do with GenAI tools for course learning activities and to include relevant information in the course syllabus.

审核: 智能体已审核置信度94%

标准化值: teachers_communicate_course_level_genai_permissions_and_syllabus_reference

原始证据

证据 1
Teachers are advised to clearly communicate at the beginning and during the course what students should /can /cannot do with Gen AI tools for learning activities related to their course. For this purpose, it is recommended to include a section in the course syllabus summarising the relevant information.

隐私

USI recommendations say GenAI use should account for data protection and that confidential documents and sensitive data should not be shared with GenAI tools.

审核: 智能体已审核置信度93%

标准化值: do_not_share_confidential_documents_or_sensitive_data_with_genai

原始证据

证据 1
Gen AI must be used critically, competently and responsibly, paying particular attention to the trustworthiness of the answers provided, data protection, environmental sustainability aspects, and ensuring that confidential documents and sensitive data are not shared.

原始证据

证据 2
Users are expected to critically review AI supported outputs, ensure their accuracy, and comply with ethical standards, data protection, and copyright regulations.

Academic Integrity

USI teaching-staff recommendations strongly discourage reliance on tools designed to detect GenAI-generated text, saying suspected misuse should follow normal misconduct procedures defined in faculty study regulations.

审核: 智能体已审核置信度93%

标准化值: ai_text_detectors_discouraged_suspected_misuse_uses_normal_misconduct_procedures

原始证据

证据 1
However, it is strongly discouraged to rely on tools designed to detect text generated with the help of Gen AI (e.g. ChatGPTzero and similar). These tools are still unreliable and of little use, as they only provide a statistical estimate without offering any definite proof of the actual use of such tools.
