+++

Find the full AI guidelines [here](/ai-use-guidelines).
AI tools are changing the way the tech industry are approaching software engineering. We know that at CYF we are prioritising people learning excellent technical skills so they can get good jobs in tech.

At CYF we have found that AI tools are changing the way people learn in a range of ways. Observed uses includes:

- Making concepts easier to understand, explaining back ideas.
- generating code to solve problems we're giving trainees to demonstrate concepts.
- Using AI to complete large portions of projects

To do enable people to learn necessary skills to land good jobs in tech we have to provide guardrails and guidance around what acceptable AI use is across our courses.

Read [our full set of AI guidelines](/ai-use-guidelines).


These guidelines should outline to everyone how to spot useful vs unhelpful AI use when it comes to our learning goals. It also outlines how acceptable AI use changes as we progress through the courses, from ITD all the way to Launch. The reason these guidelines change across the courses is because we have found we can use AI more accurately when we have the skills to question, re-prompt, or even correct the output of generative AI tools.
