Promoting ethical and responsible use of AI technologies is crucial. It is important to educate our students about the ethical and moral implications of AI and encourage them to critically evaluate the potential consequences of AI applications across various industries and fields.

Prompt engineering in the context of Generative AI involves designing and refining prompts or queries to elicit responses from AI models. The process requires crafting clear, specific, and relevant prompts to guide the AI model towards generating high-quality outputs.

Faculty members have raised concerns about integrating AI tools, such as ChatGPT, into assessment activities and identifying student-generated, machine-generated, or student/machine-generated content. However, CEI believes that solely relying on AI detection tools to detect AI-generated content in students’ output is not the best solution, as technology advances quickly and AI detection tools often lag the advancement of Generative AI.

Policy for GenAI Integration in Teaching and Learning

Given the evolving landscape of GenAI tools, HKUST allows faculty members the flexibility to set their own course-level policies. Faculty members are required to communicate the chosen policy option to students in writing for courses offered in Fall 2023-24.

To ensure equitable access, including addressing geographical limitations and access to paid versus open-source tools, the University has been providing secured GenAI chatbot services to all staff and students.

CEI has conducted workshops and curated useful online learning resources to facilitate your quick understanding of this hot topic in Higher Education. These resources will introduce you to ChatGPT and its impact on teaching and learning.
