  abstract = {HEPI Policy Note 71, authored by Illingworth, S. and published 21 May 2026, analyses AI policies across 163 UK degree-awarding institutions. It finds that over two-fifths have no publicly findable AI policy, and identifies a structural pattern in how policies function depending on where they are housed. The naming of Arts University Plymouth as an exemplar among four institutions, and the analytical framework distinguishing compliance-oriented from education-oriented policies, make this the reference study for any UK creative-arts institution writing or reviewing its own AI policy.},
