We encourage our students to use AI as an assistant, a tool to think with them and not for them, in honest, ethical and defensible ways. Colleagues wishing to use AI in their teaching and assessment materials should consider these principles themselves, and by declaring their own use of AI, encourage students to do the same. Whenever you use AI, be transparent about it, and explicitly acknowledge and document its contributions to your work.

Consider also that you are the expert in your field, and students expect to learn from you – not from AI. Students value human interaction, personalised educational experiences, and the richness and diversity of original learning content. Use AI to enhance your teaching, not replace it.

Example AI Acknowledgement Statement

The following is a general example of declaring professional AI use, which you are encouraged to copy and customise for your own context whenever you use AI outputs.
