Welcome to the AI & Study Guidance Hub, a specially developed resource for Imperial's student community to catch up on the latest developments in the use of generative artificial intelligence at the university.

Several natural language processing models have come to prominence in recent months, such as ChatGPT and Copilot. These models demonstrate a huge step forward in accessible forms of generative AI which will develop substantially and quickly in the years to come. In fact, they will likely grow to become a tool we use frequently in our everyday lives. Knowledge, transparency, and innovation will be key principles driving Imperial's successful interaction with generative AI, as well as debates on and off our campuses about how best it can be applied to real-world scenarios.

For students, we anticipate that these generative AI models present you with opportunities to explore new ways of studying and learning. For Imperial, there will be opportunities to further improve the quality of the teaching and assessment we offer on your degree programme.
