Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially Generative AI (Gen AI), is transforming education and learning. Tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Canva AI, and other AI-powered platforms can support learning, improve communication, and help healthcare professionals understand complex concepts.
At NIMHANS Digital Academy, learners are encouraged to use AI responsibly, ethically, and transparently as an assistance tool — not as a replacement for original thinking, clinical judgment, or analytical ability.
This guidance has been prepared after reviewing educational and academic AI policies from universities and publication platforms, as well as practical experience with AI tools in healthcare education.

The following uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are not advisable for NIMHANS academic courses or training:
- Complete content generation without learner contribution
- Dumping assignment or examination questions directly into AI tools
- Submitting fully AI-generated work as original work
- Excessive dependence on AI-generated responses
- Using AI to bypass academic or professional learning requirements
- Presenting AI-generated responses without proper review or validation
AI Content Limit: The maximum AI-generated contribution should not exceed 20% of any submission as per AI detector
All submissions must include an AI Disclosure Statement that specifies: Whether AI was used || Which AI tools were used || Purpose of AI usage || Extent of AI usage || How AI was integrated
