Artificial intelligence
The rise of artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) like Openai’s ChatGPT have far reaching implications for learning and teaching in higher education. From concerns about academic integrity and cheating, to redesigning assessment with artificial intelligence in mind, the sector is grappling with how to move forward.
On the public QAA website you can find advice, guidance and resources for higher education professionals to adapt their teaching in light of artificial intelligence. We have undertaken this work for the benefit of the whole sector and the outputs from our work are publicly available.
For our members, we are holding exclusive, interactive events to provide practical support and guidance on particular areas. Resources from these are published below.

Generative AI - curated resources
To help the sector, QAA has curated a range of resources relating to Generative AI and the ways it can be used as a positive tool while also maintaining academic standards.
The resources are arranged in themes – each of which has its own dedicated page on the QAA website. You can gain quick access to QAA advice and resources or browse the different themes. We have funded this curation work through QAA Membership fees. It is made publicly available for the benefit of the sector.
