The University of Verona and Artificial Intelligence

Policies, initiatives and guidelines

At the University of Verona, Artificial Intelligence represents a strategic lever for innovation and a commitment to a conscious and human use of digital technologies.

The University views AI not only as a tool for progress, but as an opportunity to
rethink the way we teach, study, conduct research, and work,
always placing the individual and ethical responsibility at the center of every decision.

Events

Who’s Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

A dialogue between the Department of Computer Science and the city of Verona focused on the challenges, opportunities, and perspectives of Artificial Intelligence.

University Regulations

A first concrete action

General Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence

The University has adopted its own General Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence , which establish the fundamental principles for the ethical, legal, and responsible use of AI, in line with the European and national regulatory framework.

These will be followed by specific guidelines dedicated to the various areas—teaching, research, and administration—which will offer operational indications for consistent and safe application.

Guidelines

Training as a driver of innovation

Two AI Literacy courses are currently being developed for teachers and students, designed to provide critical and methodological skills on the use of AI in learning, research, and management processes.
Teachers already have the opportunity to use ChatGPT in “educational” mode , a tool that allows them to experiment in a controlled way with the potential of generative AI for teaching and course design.
The University is evaluating and implementing artificial intelligence tools integrated into the Moodle and Woocla p platforms , with the aim of providing teachers and students with intelligent resources to personalize and improve the learning experience.
An AI tool dedicated to administrative offices is being designed , aimed at supporting data analysis, the automation of repetitive processes and the simplification of operational activities, always respecting human supervision and control.

Through these initiatives, the University of Verona aims to build a conscious, inclusive, and sustainable digital ecosystem.

Technological innovation thus becomes an integral part of the cultural and professional growth of our academic community.

Degree Programs

Master’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence (LM-18)
