Generative AI in Research
The accelerating pace of technological advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI or GenAI, presents both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Although GenAI has numerous applications that can enhance and complement the work of university staff, its use comes with risks and pitfalls that are essential to consider. So how can we make the most effective use of GenAI tools, while also working safely and responsibly.
These guidelines aim to help UU staff make informed decisions on the use of GenAI technologies while mitigating potential risks. While this document offers a broad framework, it is not exhaustive. Given the rapidly evolving nature of GenAI, guidelines will regularly need to be updated as new technology and insights arise. Specific guidelines for the use of GenAI in education are currently under development.
