Principles for AI at Loughborough

We commit to proactively developing the skills, confidence, and knowledge of our staff and students, enabling responsible engagement with, adoption of, and innovation through AI technologies.

We will ensure fair and inclusive access to AI tools and support, enabling equitable participation in AI-driven opportunities.

We will protect academic standards by clearly articulating how AI should and should not be used, and by thoughtfully designing learning, assessment, and research activities to uphold integrity.

We commit to safe, responsible, and ethical use of AI tools, both in their application and in selecting technologies.

We commit to keeping humans at the centre of our deployment of AI. AI systems will support, inform, and enhance human judgement—not replace it.

We will consider the environmental and social impacts of AI applications, aligning usage with the university’s broader sustainability objectives.

We pledge to regularly evaluate and review our AI vision, strategies, and practices.
