# Generative AI Declaration
## Learn how to manage Generative AI usage in assessments or exams.
In this article, we cover the following:
- [Setting AI-use controls](https://support.cadmus.io/generative-ai-declaration#Setting)
- [Generating Student Acknowledgement records](https://support.cadmus.io/generative-ai-declaration#Generating)
- [Accessing Generative AI related insights](https://support.cadmus.io/generative-ai-declaration#Accessing)
### **Setting AI-use controls**
Teachers can now choose how students use Generative AI tools and technologies in exams or assignments. To set AI use controls:
1. While you're in *Edit* mode on the Instructions page, click **Set Requirements, Grading options, and Settings**.
2. Navigate to the *Generative AI* heading, and choose between the options to permit students to either use or not use Generative AI tools.
3. When Generative AI use is permitted, you may optionally add explicit guidelines for appropriate usage by clicking the **Additional Instructions** button.
4. This opens a modal where you may write or paste in guidelines or specific instructions pertaining to AI usage for the assessment. Any instructions you add are autosaved. Click **Remove Instructions** to delete the additional instructions.
**NOTE**: By default, the Generative AI requirement is set to ‘Students cannot use Generative AI tools and technologies in this assessment task’.
### **Generating Student Acknowledgement records**
The additional instructions you added appear in a modal to the students as soon as they start working on Cadmus. They could acknowledge reading the instructions by checking an acceptance box and clicking Confirm. They may, however, choose to close the modal and start working.
When students submit their work, in addition to the **Academic Integrity Agreement**, they will also see a notice asking them to accept a **Generative AI Agreement**. The Generative AI Agreement can be accepted by the student after reading the university guidelines and any additional instructions that you may have added.
Students will be able to access **Guidelines,** regarding the use of Generative AI, based on their university’s policy and **Additional Instructions**, that you may have added while setting up the assessment, by clicking on the links in the Generative AI Agreement. These are also available in the Student Environment under **Requirements** in the *Instructions* panel. The additional instructions can be read and accepted whenever a student clicks on the link.
The **Cadmus Manual** also links directly to the university's website about their Generative AI and Academic Integrity policy.
**NOTE**: Students will be shown the Generative AI agreement irrespective of the AI-use control choice the teacher has made.
### **Accessing Generative AI-related insights**
Information relating to the Generative AI guidelines, Academic Integrity guidelines, and attached resources accessed have been added to the analytics under the *Learning Assurance* tab.
This will clearly indicate whether students have accessed Generative AI related guidelines or key resources throughout the assessment.
