Artificial intelligence must be used ethically. Artificial intelligence must not be used in an offensive manner or in a way that violates applicable laws, rules or regulations.
Personal data and privacy: The use of AI tools must not compromise the data protection or privacy of staff or students. Follow Laurea’s data protection practices: Privacy statement – Laurea University of Applied Sciences
Copyright: Respect copyrights; ensure the right to use/share content produced by AI and the right to process material with AI. Laurea’s general referencing and material usage guidelines also apply to AI situations.
Citation and transparency: The source must always be stated – also when text has been produced by AI. Use Laurea’s referencing guidelines; AI is not to be used directly as an expert source and the accuracy of information it produces must be verified. Note that failing to disclose the use of AI is considered misconduct and in such cases Laurea’s misconduct policies are applied. See detailed citation instructions here: References and citing sources at Laurea
Practical instruction for citation: Clearly state in the text which stages AI was used for (e.g. language editing, ideation, summarising) and also add a mention in the reference list (example: “Microsoft Co-pilot was used to edit the language of this text”)
Recording AIs (meeting bots): In virtual events/meetings (e.g. Teams and Zoom) the use of recording AIs is, as a rule, prohibited. Exceptions are negotiated in advance with the organiser and the participants. Any meeting materials and recordings captured by AI are handled using services defined by Laurea as secure (e.g. Microsoft product family, Zoom)
