These ethical guidelines on artificial intelligence (AI) and data usage in teaching and learning are designed to help educators understand the potential that the applications of AI and data usage can have in education and to raise awareness of the possible risks so that they are able to engage positively, critically and ethically with AI systems and exploit their full potential.

ASSAf and SciELO Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools and Resources in Research Communication Endorsed by the ASSAf Council (17 September 2024)

Note that these guidelines will be updated periodically as AI tools develop.

The purpose of these guidelines is to guide scholarly journals, book publishers, preprint platforms, and data collectors on the use of content generated by AI applications in scholarly communication. These guidelines offer suggestions for updating the Guidelines to Authors section of journals and books, as well as for the internal management of manuscript submissions, evaluation, and final version editing by the editors of the journals or books. They provide standards and practices for authors, editors, and reviewers regarding the use of AI tools and resources in research communication.

Nelson Mandela University position statement on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

This statement will guide the various faculties in integrating AI technology into our learning, teaching, assessment, research, innovation, and engagement processes. By adhering to this Position Understanding, we provide a framework that encourages innovation, promotes teaching and research excellence, and develops an environment that mobilises AI for the benefit of our staff and students. We are committed to defining the future of education through the appropriate and intentional integration of AI. The document ensures that the use of all AI aligns with the University’s values, staff and graduate attributes, promotes academic integrity, and reduces academic dishonesty. It further encourages the use of human potential in co-creating and advancing knowledge.
