Dublin City University – The position statement released by DCU outlines the university’s official stance on the use of artificial intelligence tools across academic environments. The document sets out a values-based framework grounded in principles such as academic integrity, transparency, fairness, inclusion, accountability, and innovation. The initiative aims to guide both staff and students in the responsible use of generative AI technologies in teaching, learning, and assessment.

DCU emphasizes that AI tools must be used in ways that do not compromise learning outcomes or replace critical thinking. The university advocates for clearly communicated expectations, especially regarding student submissions and research. Moreover, it recommends transparent AI use disclosure and stresses the need for safeguarding against bias or misinformation generated by such tools.

The policy also promotes AI literacy, encouraging training and capacity-building within the DCU community to ensure proper understanding and ethical engagement with AI. Importantly, the institution remains committed to academic freedom and autonomy while recognizing the need to adapt to the evolving digital educational landscape.
