Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Responsibility, Ethics, and Power

Statement 11 of 30

Transparency is the new integrity.

Why this matters

As the line between original and generated grows indistinct, honesty about process becomes more important than the illusion of purity. Students and staff alike should be able to say: Here's what I used, and here's how it shaped my work. In a hybrid world, transparency builds the trust that integrity depends on.

A question for reflection

What would make it feel safe for staff and students to be fully open about how they use GenAI?
