AI Policy – SF2975 Financial Mathematics

This course makes use of modern digital tools, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), in a responsible and transparent way. The purpose of this policy is to clarify how AI may and may not be used in connection with this course.

General Principles

• AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar systems) may support your learning but cannot replace your own independent work.

• When you use AI tools, you must critically evaluate their output and take full responsibility for the results.

• All submitted work must reflect your own understanding. Misuse of AI counts as academic misconduct.

Use of AI in Exercises and Assignments

• You may use AI tools to:

  • Check definitions or recall basic facts.

  • Explore examples and simulations (e.g. Python code for option pricing).

  • Generate alternative explanations when studying the lecture material.

• You must not use AI tools to:

  • Automatically generate complete solutions to exercises or assignments.

  • Submit AI-generated text or code without verification and understanding.

Use of AI in Exams

• Unless explicitly stated, AI tools are not permitted during examinations. Exams are to be solved independently.

• Any violation will be treated according to KTH’s rules for disciplinary matters.

Recommended Approach

• Use AI as a study companion, not as an answer machine.

• Always double-check results using lecture notes, textbooks, and your own reasoning.

• If in doubt about acceptable use, ask the course coordinator or assistant.
