Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

These considerations serve as a starting point for academics, researchers, support staff, students, and senior leaders in shaping institutional policies and practices around generative AI. These will be further refined through stakeholder focus groups, case studies, and research throughout 2025, culminating in a national report with policy guidance and recommendations. A feedback form is available, and we encourage stakeholders to share insights, experiences, and relevant research to inform the next phase of this initiative.
