AI
Within the university, generative AI (GenAI) offers new opportunities for research, teaching and university operations. On this page, you will find practical information and tips to help you use GenAI consciously and responsibly.
AI policy
Our AI policy (Dutch) explains how we use AI within Leiden University. It covers the use of AI in our day-to-day work, as well as in research and teaching. The policy also explains what to consider when developing AI systems or purchasing AI applications.
Responsible use of AI
Handle data, information and technology carefully when you use AI. This will help ensure you do not unintentionally share sensitive or confidential information. Remain critical when using AI. Check any output carefully and do not accept information generated by AI at face value. AI can support you, but you remain responsible for how you use the content it produces.
AI in education
AI can enhance the development of education. The university therefore offers a learning environment where AI can be used to support education. By taking a responsible approach, teaching staff and students can use various tools to innovate both teaching and learning.
