UZH AI Policies
At UZH, we believe in both academic freedom and responsible innovation.
That means: each faculty is free to define policies that fit its teaching and research needs — while we’re also working behind the scenes on a unified, university-wide AI policy to be able to adapt to this exciting and ever evolving technology.
Below you’ll find the current collection of central and faculty-specific guidelines. This list will grow as more faculties publish their own frameworks.
If you know of a missing policy or spot something outdated, reach out to us at AI [at] uzh.ch.
