AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we study, work, and interact with technology. This page is here to help you navigate how you can use AI throughout your degree.
Your time at the University of Exeter will enable you to develop and nurture your critical thinking skills, personal voice, and individual approach to AI.
AI is evolving rapidly; it is important we all stay informed and adaptable. Leveraging our expertise and strategic partners like AWS, we are continually developing new opportunities for University of Exeter students to learn more about AI.

The majority of these tools are allowed even in AI prohibited assignments. If there is any uncertainty with this please check with your Faculty Hub.
