SAFE-AI principles
Five levels of AI use
Lecturers set a level for each form of assessment in the RPS. Click a level to see what it means.
Four risk levels
General guidelines. Teaching lecturers retain the authority to adjust them according to learning goals and the nature of the assessment.
Unacceptable risk
Prohibited under all conditions, for both lecturers and students.
- Uploading personal data (identity, grades) to AI systems
- Claiming AI-generated content as your own work
- Grading assignments, quizzes, or exams using AI (lecturers)
- Conducting a literature review entirely with AI alone
High risk
Allowed with strict limits, and AI use must be acknowledged.
- Preparing exam questions
- Developing teaching materials
- Helping create feedback for assignments or exams
- Using AI-generated content (text, images, code) in reports, assignments, or essays
Limited risk
Allowed if relevant to learning goals and transparent. AI use must be acknowledged.
- Creating text, images, or videos with AI (label as AI)
- Creating scenarios or simulations to understand concepts
- Creating example case studies
- Optimizing your own program code
Minimal risk
Allowed broadly, and AI use does not need to be acknowledged.
- Summarizing, expanding, paraphrasing, or correcting text
- Automatic subtitles and support for special needs

SAFE-AI
Sustainability and Security
Support education quality without sacrificing academic integrity; maintain data security and privacy.
Accuracy
AI output can be biased or wrong. Verification and validation are required before use.
Fairness
Equal access to tools so that no inequality arises.
Explainability
AI use must be explainable: the process and its basis.
What you need to do
1. Check the RPS
Check the permitted AI level for each assignment and exam.
2. Ask the lecturer
If the RPS or assignment instructions do not mention AI, confirm with the lecturer.
3. Declare
State the name and version of the tool, the date, and the parts assisted by AI if required.
4. Verify
Check the accuracy of AI output and be ready to explain the process.
