Ethical guidelines for using AI in HUBS studies
How can you make a good use of artificial intelligence on our courses?
Ethical guidelines on using artificial intelligence on our courses
Updated on 11.11.2025 in accordance with the Tampere Universities community guidelines. These instructions also apply to students enrolling in HUBS studies from other universities and to open university students.
The use of AI applications is generally permitted. Since the ability to utilize AI is an important future skill, we encourage our students to experiment with AI in our study units. On our online courses in Moodle, please follow the AI traffic light model, which indicates how AI can be used in each specific assignment.
For data security reasons, it is safest to use the AI chat service provided for the university community, Copilot, while logged in with your TUNI credentials.
When using AI, for example in HUBS online courses, please keep in mind the following points:
✅Do’s:
- Let your own skills, thinking, and personality shine through in your assignments. This way, you will gain the most from the course.
- You can use AI applications to help understand course content or to produce well-structured text.
- AI is a great sparring partner! You can present even incomplete ideas and receive feedback.
- Remember critical thinking: AI applications can also provide incorrect information. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of the information.
- Mark clearly and in detail, if you have used Copilot, ChatGPT, or other AI applications in completing your assignment.
⛔Dont’s:
- Presenting text or solutions generated by AI as your own work constitutes academic misconduct and will result in the rejection of your course performance.
- From TUNI Intranet: Examples of misuse include generating final outputs using AI, using AI-provided references without verifying the original sources, using AI in assignments where its use is prohibited, and failing to acknowledge the use of AI.
- From TUNI Intranet: Examples of misuse include generating final outputs using AI, using AI-provided references without verifying the original sources, using AI in assignments where its use is prohibited, and failing to acknowledge the use of AI.
- Do not use AI applications as your only source, as it does not replace the course material selected by the coach, or your own thinking.
- Never share personal information or documents with AI services.
This guideline has been created by utilizing ChatGPT’s responses as well as the guidelines made by TAMK and TAU regarding the use of artificial intelligence in education.
If the coach suspects the honesty of the course performance, we will use a plagiarism prevention system and Moodle log data to investigate further. If necessary, we will address the suspected fraud according to Tampere higher education community’s guidelines for fraud cases.
