🤖 Poll results*: how should GenAI be regulated in university courses?

61% declared task completion
17% unrestricted
17% learning support only
4% complete ban
(*LinkedIn poll)

78% want GenAI permitted but controlled. Only 1 in 23 supported a full ban.

At DiSC (@uniinnsbruck), our Digital Science Minor runs a tiered policy: restricted in foundations, citation-required in advanced work, documented use in the final lab.
