Hansung University students say ethical standards are needed for generative AI in conversation with president

[Financial News]   Hansung University students have asked the university to establish reasonable ethical guidelines suited to the changing higher education environment as the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) grows.
Hansung University said on the 2nd that it held the sixth “Open President’s Office” town hall meeting on October 28 at the Sang Sang Hall Conference Hall on campus, with around 40 people in attendance, including President Lee Chang-won and student representatives.
At the meeting, students called for ethical standards governing the use of generative AI, the introduction of an electronic voting system on campus, and improvements to spaces for student self-governance activities. The university administration agreed on the need for AI ethics guidelines and said it would review students’ requests, including facility improvements.
Students proposed introducing an electronic voting system linked to the campus single sign-on (SSO) system to reduce election costs for student self-governing bodies and strengthen security. They also called for improvements to the small auditorium in Changui Hall and to club activity spaces. The university said it would conduct on-site inspections of the facilities and take steps to improve them.
At the meeting, university officials responded to issues raised by student self-governing bodies, and participants also discussed the results of a preliminary survey conducted among enrolled students.
Jeong Yun-ji, president of the Hansung University Student Council, said, “It was an opportunity to share and discuss the various views proposed by student representatives with the university administration,” adding, “I’m glad that students’ voices can be reflected in practice and in education policy.”
Hansung University President Lee Chang-won said, “Listening directly to students and discussing the university’s future direction together is a fundamental starting point for student-centered university governance,” adding, “We will actively incorporate the views proposed by student representatives into the university’s actual operations and education policy.”
