Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI): Ulster AI Resources

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guide

A guidance site on the appropriate use of Gen AI tools at Ulster.

This webpage has been constructed to outline the University’s position on the use of Gen AI and to share relevant guidance, resources, and communications on this subject.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) refers to the use of AI to create new content including text, images, audio, video, computer code and music.

Both a disruptor and an influential agent for change, Gen AI attracts enthusiasm and concern in equal measure, as we race to understand the opportunities and challenges it brings to the HE sector.

The future of Higher Education requires an integrated approach to help us navigate this new era where AI will be ubiquitous to our personal and professional lives.
