As a university, we will support AI literacy for all staff and students, creating authentic, digitally enabled teaching that promotes digital fluency and life-centred critical AI awareness.
AI in Teaching and Learning
AI models and software tools offer exciting time-saving affordances for academic practice and professional service. However, they might store, use or distribute data uploaded to them. This means they are not safe and secure and may be in breach of GDPR, the EU AI Act or other regulatory frameworks.
When using AI tools, beware of uploading any sensitive, confidential or protected data.
Ask yourself these guiding questions:
- Do I fully understand the data protection and privacy settings on this AI tool?
- What data, in my prompts and in what I upload, am I giving them?
- Do I have the right to give it to them, is it my information and not someone else's?
- Am I happy for them to store, use and share this data with others?
- Will sharing this data lead to harm or impact on mine or someone's freedoms and rights?
