Since 2023, SCAITEN has developed a high-level statement on use of generative AI in tertiary education, through extensive stakeholder consultation. The statement outlines an ethical, enhancement-led, and responsible approach to generative AI for the Scottish sector. It is structured around nine principles, each accompanied by related actions and aspirations. It serves as a foundation for institutions to guide discussions with students and staff, and to align with new or existing institutional guidance and position statements.   

The Statement was intentionally written and openly licensed under Creative Commons as a living document, allowing it to evolve over time and be adapted for different contexts or areas of activity.  

As a living document, it is intended to be regularly reviewed to reflect the evolving environment. It is intended that future versions may include or be repurposed for research, and relevant stakeholders are being liaised with to this end.
