Artificiale Intelligence @ Hasselt University
As a civic university, Hasselt University recognizes AI as a driving force for innovation and social progress. We believe it is our responsibility to educate students and staff on the critical, ethical, and responsible use of AI tools. Additionally, we aim to contribute to the development of reliable AI systems.
Core principles
- Critical thinking: Critically assess the generated output, verify its accuracy, and apply correct source referencing.
- Transparency: Be transparent about the use of AI, depending on the purpose for which the tool is being used.
- Responsible use: Use AI carefully, sustainably, and ethically, with attention to the impact of the generated output.
- Integrity and respect: Engage with both the input and output of AI systems in a fair, respectful, and ethical manner, and remain aware of the potential pitfalls of AI use.
- Thoughtful Innovation: Use AI for innovation and creativity in a considered and responsible way.
Policy framework
New AI applications are evolving rapidly. As a result, creating a comprehensive policy is challenging. However, we have established a framework for the use of generative AI within the university context. This framework emphasizes large language models (LLMs) and focuses on three core areas: teaching, research, and internal organization, which includes administrative and operational processes.
AI-tools
There are now numerous AI tools available, and new ones are being added at a rapid pace. To help you stay informed and ensure that you are using safe tools, you can refer to our regularly updated AI-tools list.

Training and workshops on the use of AI
UHasselt aims to empower every staff member and student to use AI in a responsible, safe and effective way.
For staff (teaching staff, researchers and ATP), a growing range of training opportunities is available to develop AI skills and applications, including targeted sessions on specific themes and domains (e.g. using GenAI for administrative tasks but also in education and research).
