Institutional AI Policy Development

UK universities are publishing concrete AI policies and frameworks. Manchester adopted a four-tier assessment policy, Bristol published seven AI principles, Birmingham operationalised Russell Group principles, and Greater Manchester co-created a student-designed literacy framework. These examples provide models for others and reflect the move from detection to trust-based approaches. A new practical roadmap from the Digital Education Council outlines six stages of AI adoption on campus, offering a structured benchmark for implementation.
