Utrecht University tells students not to use a UU student email address for AI-tool verification or account creation and notes that teachers cannot force students to create an AI-tool account while UU lacks secure AI tools.

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.

智能体已审核
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.

University-provided AI tools

Conditional

Utrecht says AI tools should be allow-listed under an AI assessment framework, so a tool list is conditional rather than blanket permission.
