Teaching and AI
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to change how we learn and teach. Recent developments in generative AI (genAI) have demonstrated the potential for this technology to greatly impact education. ChatGPT is the most well-known example of this type of AI, but there are many others. ChatGPT is software that can mimic human language and as such can be used – and misused – in various ways by both teachers and students.
GenAI creates both risks and opportunities. It poses a risk to the integrity of our assessments, as it can be used by students without permission to complete assignments and write papers. On the other hand, genAI also promises new opportunities to enhance learning and to reduce teacher workload. On this page, you will find information and tips on how to adapt to and work with this rapidly changing technology.
The TLC network collects tips for and by teachers, but does not set any rules.

Recap: Teaching Tomorrow - exploring GenAI in education
The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping education. It offers opportunities but also challenges and food for thought. Within several faculties, AI tools are already being used in an ethically responsible way. Reason enough for the Special Interest Group (SIG) for Educational Use of AI to organize an event on 19 March 2024.
The AI Maturity in Education Scan (AIMES)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly and dramatically changing the education landscape. This is why the UvA and VU have joined forces to develop the AI Maturity in Education Scan (AIMES). This scan contributes to increasing AI Literacy of lecturers, programme directors and faculty administrators.
SIG Educational Use of AI
The SIG is a network of educators working or interested in integrating GenAI into education in an ethical way. If you are a lecturer, teacher, researcher, examiner, or policy advisor with an interest in the intersection of AI and university education, we invite you to join the SIG.
