Bulletin No. 2, 2023

To encourage sensible and critical use of AI tools among students, CLEAR, the Information Technology Services Centre and ELITE will arrange workshops on the use of GenAI in education. The University has also prepared the Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Teaching, Learning and Assessments. This is not only intended for educational purposes, but also to further students’ future professional development and advancement, so they can thrive in the AI era. The guidelines encourage students to learn and use AI tools responsibly and ethically. As a general principle, they are expected to complete all coursework and formative and summative assessments independently, without the use of AI tools or other forms of unauthorised assistance, unless specifically permitted. Proper use of the tools includes refining their prompts for more sophisticated outcomes and cross-checking the outcomes with reliable sources. The guidelines will be reviewed and updated as needed to reflect changes in technology and best practices, and other relevant developments. AI literacy and soft skills such as creativity and critical thinking are core to higher education. “As a pioneer in machine learning and artificial intelligence research, we will continue to leverage our edge and use innovative and breakthrough technologies to optimise our teaching strategies and course content. Students that are equipped with digital knowledge and creativity will be primed for success in tomorrow’s economy,” said Professor Rocky S. Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK.
