Guidelines for Students on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Updates) |
The set of guidelines for students on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has been updated to clarify the University’s stance on the use of AI translation tools in assessment. The updated guidelines and honour declaration template can be downloaded from the AR website and EDC website. The direct links are reproduced below for your easy access:
• Honour declaration template
PolyU maintains its open and forward-looking stance on the use of GenAI in education. This update highlights the principle that the work students submit for assessment must be their own work and that any AI-generated material (including text, images, and translations) used in the work must be properly referenced. Subject teachers have the discretion to restrict the use of AI tools and/or AI-generated material. If the use of GenAI should be restricted, subject teachers will clearly communicate the restrictions to their students in the assignment briefs. In case of doubt, please consult your subject teachers.
To support students in exploring the possibilities of GenAI, the University runs an AI Playground in BC401, which maintains a set of up-to-date GenAI tools for teachers and students to gain hands-on experience. You are welcome to learn more about GenAI by visiting the AI Playground.
Best regards,
Prof. Kwok-yin Wong
Vice President (Education)
