Generative AI in Higher Education Teaching & Learning: National Policy Framework

This framework, along with its accompanying annexes and supporting instruments, applies to the use of generative artificial intelligence, most notably large language models like ChatGPT, in teaching and learning within Irish higher education institutions. Its purpose is to guide educators, academic leaders, and professional staff in making informed, values-based decisions about how gen AI is adopted and integrated into educational practice.

This framework reflects the current state of generative AI adoption in higher education teaching and learning as of the date of publication, and is intended to evolve in response to technological developments and emerging evidence, as well as sectoral experience and continued consultation. The HEA will issue updates as and when required, and institutions should refer to the most recent published version when developing or reviewing their own policies.
