Hong Kong Academic Integrity Policies on AI Tools

Hong Kong's UGC-funded universities have each developed institutional policies on generative AI. Most adopt a "permitted with declaration" approach, allowing AI assistance while requiring transparency.

Key Policies

HKU expects students to declare AI tool usage and demonstrate independent critical thinking. CUHK's Academic Honesty Policy now explicitly covers AI-generated content. HKUST allows AI in specified coursework with faculty permission. PolyU requires AI usage declaration in all assessed work.

Consequences

Penalties range from grade deduction to disciplinary action depending on severity and university policy. Most HK universities distinguish between AI assistance (acceptable with declaration) and AI submission (academic misconduct).
