AI on this platform is present and accountable: never invisible, never unquestioned.
It opens questions
It does not provide solutions, generate designs or complete student work. Its job is to develop the student’s eye and judgement, so it answers with references and questions.
It keeps to the stage
In a crit, evaluation waits until description and analysis are done. The assistant holds that order.
It cites its sources
When it draws on course material or teachers’ notes, it links to where the idea came from.
People assess
Critique, assessment and certification stay with people, at all times. AI supports them; it is never handed the decision.
What goes where
When the assistant is connected, a question you ask it will be sent to an AI model provider to be answered. Which provider, and what they keep, will be named here and in the privacy policy before it is switched on.
