Our generative AI policy (opens in a new tab)
We allow the responsible use of generative AI in grant applications and funded activities. We do not want to stop applicants or grant holders from using useful tools. However, we expect generative AI to be used in an accurate, transparent, ethical and lawful way.
You must tell us if you use generative AI to create or support any original content for: A grant application A grant-funded activity A report to the Foundation Images, video, code, text or other materials produced as part of Foundation-funded work You do not need to tell us about standard tools as set out above.
You are responsible for how you use generative AI. We accept no liability for any loss, claim or damage arising from the use of generative AI in connection with a grant application or funded activity. You may use generative AI to support your work, but your application, report or funded activity must remain accurate, honest and based on work that you and your partners can deliver.
