Dear Jane
Official Information Act request 23.47 AI in Assessment
I refer to the Official Information Act (the Act) request dated 25 May 2023 for information relating to Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in assessment. You have requested the fol owing:
• Could you please provide al policies regarding the use of AI in assessment.
This is a dynamic field and the University guide academic staff on how best to approach the use of AI tools in
their courses.
The University of Canterbury has a diverse range of study op�ons in more than 150 different subject areas, and
our Course Coordinators wil ensure students are appropriately updated on specific course requirements.
Our website reflects this approach with a statement on the use of AI – generated text
here. Therefore, this
request is refused under s18(e) of the Act, as the documenta�on does not yet exist, as it is under development.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Claire O'Connell
Information Compliance Officer
