The first version of the ScAITEN statement of principles on GenAI in learning, teaching and assessment was developed through extensive sector consultation from late 2023 to May 2025. In June 2025 it was formally endorsed by Universities Scotland Learning and Teaching Committee (this is the 'current version' provided below).

The B.C. Post-Secondary AI Policy Working Group developed Draft V1 - Model Principles and Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence: An Informational Resource for the B.C. Post-Secondary System, drawing on existing resources within the post-secondary context. Quotes from the Scottish Tertiary Education statement on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) are included in an appendix to the document as a part of a compilation of AI-related principles, policy, and guidelines in the post-secondary context.
