AI Framework and Principles

Deakin AI Framework and Principles

Deakin recognises the need to prepare our people – students, academics and professional staff – for a world where AI is ubiquitous. We actively seek to build capability and enable ethical individual and collective decision-making in a space of rapid change. We welcome the opportunity to engage and grow with emerging technologies. We are future-facing, prioritising human agency and taking an educative approach. We pursue a progressive agenda, both harnessing technology and challenging it, to improve society and enhance human experience, in line with the values and aspirations of Deakin 2030: Ideas to Impact.
