Prohibition on generative AI in research funding assessment
Assessors, reviewers and panellists are explicitly prohibited from using generative AI in their assessment activities, while applicants are advised to exercise caution over bias and data protection. The asymmetry between a prohibition for evaluators and advice for applicants is itself a policy design choice.

Assessors, reviewers, and panellists are explicitly prohibited from using Generative AI tools in their assessment activities.
An explicit prohibition is one of the few binding national measures recorded in the partnership, which is why the record is coded at the highest maturity.
Evidence
The reported evidence on the effect of the practice. Evidentiary strength varies between practices; it is reproduced here as the source reports it.
The prohibition is reported as explicit, which separates this record from the advisory instruments that dominate the national level.
