## Scope

United Kingdom, one university. The approved guidance says AI-generated marking and feedback, where AI systems independently generate marks or feedback with minimal or no human involvement, is not permitted, except for automated marking of objective formats such as multiple-choice quizzes; that AI may assist with parts of marking but cannot replace human academic judgement in determining marks, moderation or final decisions; and that it cannot replace second markers or moderators. Written for a pilot year in 2025/26; dissertations are excluded.

## What this means

At this university, AI may help with marking but a member of staff decides every mark.

## What it does not show yet

One university's rule for a pilot year; it says nothing about how many staff use AI or how marking time changed.

## How to verify it yourself

Open the LSE guidance PDF and find "is not permitted".
