Quick instructions

• The teacher decides and communicates the principles for using AI either for the entire course or for specific assignments.
• With AI traffic lights attached to the course or assignments, teachers can guide students how AI is supposed to be used. 
• Ask and talk openly about using AI applications. In unclear situations, always check with the teacher.
• The AI traffic lights model used in Tampere universities is based on Arene’s recommendations on the use of artificial intelligence for universities.
