AI in learning and teaching
AI is opening up exciting new ways to teach and learn. To ensure that all AUT graduates are confident and capable in an AI-integrated workforce, we’re taking a thoughtful approach to weave AI into educational practices across AUT – transforming assessment design, integrating AI across all disciplines, and equipping students and staff with the tools to make the most of the opportunities AI offers.
Resources to embrace AI with confidence
For AUT students

Generative AI and assessment at AUT
AI is creating exciting new possibilities for learning and teaching, but it also means changing our current assessment practices. We're taking a whole-of-institution approach to bring generative AI into assessment design to create better, more sustainable ways of assessing and giving feedback to students.
AUT’s AI approach
At AUT, we believe AI should serve people, not the other way around. That's why we've built our AI strategy on clear principles that put ethics, equity and human connection at the centre of everything we do.
AI research
Our vision is to embrace AI as a catalyst for groundbreaking research across all disciplines, and researchers across AUT are already exploring the opportunities AI offers to build a smarter, healthier and more connected world.
