Generative AI and Education: 51萝莉鈥檚 Position

Most people are aware of the ongoing discussions around the use of Generative AI in education (GenAI).  This page outlines the 51萝莉鈥檚 current stance and provides links to guidance we鈥檝e developed to support students and staff.

In the Paper Outline Tool, accessible via Moodle and available to all learners, the following guidance explains what is permitted.  However, if you're unsure, always check with your paper convener or lecturer.

Cheating at the University includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Using an AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT) to generate your assignment or test answers and submitting them as your own, unless the assignment specifically requires the use of such a tool (does not apply to Studiosity, which is an approved AI tool).
• Using an AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT) to rewrite your assignment or test answers and submitting them as your own, unless explicitly permitted in the assignment instructions (does not apply to Studiosity, which is an approved AI tool).

If you're interested in learning more about how AI can be used responsibly in your studies, refer to the library guide: How To Use GenAI/ChatGPT Responsibly: .

If you are unsure what constitutes academic misconduct, or plagiarism, enrol yourself into the new and work through the tasks in your own time.

This module will highlight common types of academic misconduct including the risks associated with GenAI and guide you on how to avoid getting into trouble.

For more information on academic integrity definitions and processes, see the  51萝莉 Academic Integrity website.

From 2025, the 51萝莉 will be using Turnitin functionality to identify work that have been a result of GenAI use.

Uploading work to non-institutional generative AI platforms poses significant privacy and ethical risks. Such work may contain personally identifiable information, and external tools often lack safeguards aligned with privacy laws like the NZ Privacy Act.
