GenAI spans a broad spectrum. While LLMs (like ChatGPT) and Diffusion Models are the most prominent, GenAI includes diverse technologies. Model selection depends on data type (text/image/audio), output quality, and efficiency needs.
Introduced by the Teaching and Learning Development Office (TLDO), HKSYU staff and students can:
- Use HKSYU ChatGPT to facilitate teaching, learning, and assessment tasks.
- View HKSYU ChatGPT Tutorials to learn more about HKSYU ChatGPT and the University's guidelines.
- Understand the Guidelines on the Use of Generative AI in Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (English Version | Chinese Version) to make appropriate adaptations to incorporate the use of AI in assignments.
Language learning resources on AI developed by the HKSYU Language Centre:
Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine designed to streamline and enhance the research process for students, faculty, and researchers. Built on the extensive Semantic Scholar database, which encompasses over 200 million peer-reviewed documents, Consensus leverages artificial intelligence to surface the most relevant research findings in response to user queries. Unlike traditional search engines that simply provide a list of links, Consensus extracts key insights and evidence directly from academic papers, offering concise, evidence-based summaries and always citing original sources.
The platform supports both keyword and conversational searches, enabling users to efficiently locate, analyse, and synthesise scholarly literature across all domains of science. Advanced features such as AI-powered search filters, study snapshots, and synthesis tools help users quickly assess research quality, identify highly cited or rigorous studies, and gain a comprehensive overview of the literature. Consensus is particularly valuable for conducting literature reviews, finding supporting evidence for academic writing, exploring new research questions, developing hypotheses, and identifying research gaps.
Users are required to register an account using HKSYU email to access Consensus’s premium features.

Scite is an advanced AI-powered research platform designed to help researchers and scholars better discover, understand, and evaluate scientific literature through the use of Smart Citations.

The platform offers robust tools for literature search and citation analysis. Features include visual citation maps, interactive dashboards, and real-time alerts for new citations or editorial notices. Scite also offers an AI Research Assistant, which generates evidence-based answers to research queries. Scite’s Reference Check function helps researchers verify the reliability of their sources by identifying retracted or disputed references, thus supporting research integrity. Additionally, Scite integrates with popular citation management tools and provides browser extensions for seamless access to citation data across the web.
By combining a comprehensive database of over 1.2 billion citation statements with advanced AI and natural language processing, Scite empowers researchers, students, and academics to make informed decisions, streamline literature reviews, and ensure the quality of their scholarly work.

HKSYU ChatGPT is a secure and private AI-powered chatbot platform developed using Microsoft Azure OpenAI services, exclusively accessible to the University community including faculty, staff, and students. Introduced in August 2023 as part of a one-year pilot run, this platform supports the University’s commitment to integrating artificial intelligence into teaching, learning, and research while upholding academic integrity and user privacy.
