Introductory Guide to AI in Research
A new introductory guide offers practical support for the use of AI in research at Uppsala University. It is not a set of rules or formal guidelines, but rather a straightforward tool to help you get started, work more efficiently, and avoid the most common pitfalls when using AI in your research.
Key person at technology-human interface
AI is gaining ground in the University Administration and major efforts are being made to improve the skills of staff. The current AI initiative at the University Administration is intended to strengthen the entire University. At the centre of it all is project manager Fredrik Sjöberg, who creates and drives conversations about the interaction between machines and humans.
“We need to learn to work with AI – not against it”
Artificial intelligence is already part of students’ everyday lives – but how is teaching keeping up? At Campus Gotland, an internal training programme is currently underway to teach lecturers and researchers how to use AI in practice.
Working group to produce proposals to facilitate the use of AI in teaching
The Vice-Chancellor has decided to appoint a University-wide working group for AI in teaching, whose task is to submit proposals on the development and use of AI to support quality, relevance and learning in the University’s teaching.
New AI model improves MS diagnostics
To provide the right treatment for MS, it is important to know when the disease changes from relapsing-remitting to secondary progressive, a transition that is currently recognised on average three years too late. Researchers at Uppsala University have now developed an AI model that can determine with 90 per cent certainty which variant the patient has.
Pointing the way towards the future of drug development
Can AI and automation shorten the time it takes to develop new drugs? Ola Spjuth combines his academic expertise in data-driven drug development with entrepreneurship to help the pharmaceutical industry capitalise on the potential of new technologies.

Local guidelines for AI
More and more institutions and departments at Uppsala University are developing their own guidelines for AI usage.
On this page, we collect the local guidelines for AI.
Guidelines on generative AI in teaching
The University now has its first University-wide guidelines on AI in teaching. The guidelines will come into effect on 20 January 2025 and
applies to education at all levels, from undergraduate to doctoral studies.
Guidelines from The European Commission: Generative AI in Research
The European Commission has compiled living guidelines on the responsible use of generative AI in research.
