Given the wide variety of subjects and teaching and learning styles at the University of Cambridge, it would be difficult to provide a policy that accurately represents the multitude of ambitions, considerations, and feelings surrounding the use of AI in education. We instead will be providing a framework for triposes, departments, faculties, and colleges, to determine their own local allowance and rational for the use of AI within their own contexts.

Together with the [University Statement on AI and Assessment](https://blendedlearning.cam.ac.uk/artificial-intelligence-and-education/generative-ai-and-assessment) and [available guidance on Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct](https://www.plagiarism.admin.cam.ac.uk/what-academic-misconduct/artificial-intelligence), we welcome staff to use this framework to present clear and transparent expectations for their students that best reflect the intended outcomes for their studies.

For those wishing to use the Policy Framework, we encourage creating a copy that represents the broadest level of common use (e.g., one policy for a School or Tripos), which then allows individual papers or assessments to provide caveats where certain activities infringe upon, or otherwise hinder, the intended learning outcome of an activity or assignment. Wherever this occurs, we ask that these changes are clearly communicated with students to mitigate possible confusion.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the policy framework further, please email [info@blendedlearning.cam.ac.uk](mailto:info@blendedlearning.cam.ac.uk).

*The framework has been developed in collaboration with colleagues across the University, and is adapted from the policy proposal created by Dr Claire Benn and Dr John Burden from the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence.*
