University of Manchester
Andrew Brass, dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of Manchester, pointed out that from the school's perspective, artificial intelligence cannot be mandatory and requires schools to work closely with students to implement guidance. If there are restrictions, schools also need to explain clearly to students why, otherwise someone will always find other ways to do it.
The University of Tokyo
On 2023 April 3, the University of Tokyo issued an open letter to all teachers and students in the name of the vice president. The open letter stated that ChatGPT is not a search software, but a "talking" system. Therefore, students' dissertations and academic reports cannot be used. Use ChatGPT to complete it, because the articles completed by ChatGPT are written using long-term accumulated learning knowledge, and are likely to involve issues such as information leakage and copyright infringement. The open letter requires teachers to fully understand the functions of ChatGPT and carefully review dissertations and Academic report.
Hong Kong Baptist University
According to HKBBU academic registry, given the proliferation of generative AI tools and their utility in teaching and learning, in alignment with our principles, the recommended approach is that students are allowed to perform the assessed assignment tasks with assistance from generative AI tools. Any such use must align with the University's academic integrity guidelines for students on academic integrity as well as the guidelines and instructions from the respective schools, faculties, departments and course instructors in order to ensure students are able to demonstrate achievement of PILOs and CILOs.


Students can use ChatGPT to write entire essays, answer quiz questions, or do their homework. Ironically, now there are AI programs that can detect AI writing to help teachers determine if their students are cheating. But sometimes those programs may falsely identify a student's original work as plagiarism.
The data of AI may come from various documents, books, etc. on the Internet. When AI integrates this information and outputs it to the user, who should own the copyright? And when we use a large amount of data to train AI, should we pay attention to copyright issues? If the use of AI does not have a clear copyright regulation, it will damage the rights and interests of authors and be detrimental to academic development.
According to a survey released by the Ministry of Education of China in 2023, there are as many as 18.9178 million full-time teachers in China. With the powerful database and algorithms of AI, a large number of education-related practitioners may face the risk of unemployment.
