DCU Position Statement on AI tools

DCU Position Statement on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools

Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) present both powerful opportunities and daunting challenges to education and to society more broadly. We have only experienced the very early stages of its impact and the pace at which tools are developing is very rapid. However, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, which came into law in Aug ‘24, provides a legal framework for the deployment of AI within Europe, and there is a growing body of international guidance to draw on in terms of good practice.

The technologies of AI and the study of the impact of AI are research strengths in DCU. AI has also been the subject of extensive consideration at institutional and local level internally, touching on all of our key activities. We have developed insight into our collective understanding, sentiment and use of AI through a staff survey, introduced guidance for critical aspects of teaching and research, reviewed our curriculum and have invested in some pilot activities so we can monitor and evaluate, as we build up our knowledge about AI.

It is timely that we adopt a clear statement on our position on the use of Artificial Intelligence tools in the university. This will be a living document and will evolve as our experience, knowledge and insight develop across a period of very rapid technological change.
