Introduction to Generative AI & University guidance

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is a type of technology that can produce various high-quality outputs using algorithms. This is done by learning patterns from huge datasets and then autonomously producing new content based on those datasets.

Gen AI is already profoundly changing business and industry, and it's important to understand what is meant by "Generative AI" and how we can best use this technology. You can find free courses in the Links section of this resource, and student guidance in the Guides section.

If you need to know more about guidelines related to using Gen AI in University assignments, please see our Academic Integrity & Referencing resource.

For more information about incorporating AI to empower learners, please visit the University's GenAI in Education webpages or visit the AI Learning Labs Online Hub.
