The Athens School of Fine Arts is currently working on a collective position text on AI (faculty + students), though it’s not published yet. I’ll share an update when it’s available.

@festal And if you are curious to see a non-art school's take, these are @univienna's guidelines (2024, also in German), including chapters on teaching and for students:
