AI applications offer new opportunities in learning and the workplace, such as generating texts, images, program code, and other creative content. Lapland University of Applied Sciences encourages students and staff to use AI in diverse and responsible ways, but it is important to understand the limitations and potential challenges of AI use.
Content generated by AI can serve as useful starting points, but it should always be critically evaluated. AI applications do not filter information in the same way humans do, so users must assess the reliability of the content and verify its accuracy. AI is a tool, not an independent content creator, and therefore it is crucial that the final product reflects the user’s own knowledge and contribution.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the use of AI does not result in incorrect or biased information. AI-generated sources must be carefully checked, and AI should never be used in a way that absolves the user of responsibility. If AI is used, for example, in thesis work or other evaluative projects, its use must always be clearly stated in the work, though it should not be listed in the bibliography.
Providing personal data to AI is strictly prohibited. Users must always follow the data protection and information security practices of Lapland UAS when using AI applications.
The use of AI is a central part of future work life and digital competence. Lapland UAS encourages students to actively develop their digital skills. AI provides tools that, when used responsibly and thoughtfully, will help students prepare for future challenges.
AI is an excellent tool, but its use requires consideration and responsibility. Students must always critically assess AI-generated information and ensure that their own knowledge and creativity are reflected in the final result. Open discussion and a willingness to experiment will help students adopt AI use wisely and ethically.
