Generative AI tools for study and research

The Library reviews AI tools from our publishers and vendors to make sure they’re safe, ethical, and useful for study and research, and that they comply with Murdoch University’s Guiding Principles for Generative AI. These tools are often available in our existing databases and systems, making access to these tools simple and intuitive. 

All use of generative AI must be within the University's requirements, and it is your responsibility to confirm the level of AI usage allowed. This may differ depending on whether you're a student, researcher, or staff member. Any unauthorised use of generative AI may be regarded as academic misconduct and against university policy. Please see Further support for guidance on allowable AI use.

The Library comprehensively tests gen AI tools for accuracy and minimisation of hallucinations, but these may still occur with any AI tool. Generated content must be critically assessed for accuracy. 

Uploading or sharing any copyrighted materials, such as articles, books, images, etc., or Murdoch intellectual property to AI tools that do not have an existing Murdoch University agreement in place is against the Guiding Principles for Generative AI and in breach of our copyright requirements.
