Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in education are spreading rapidly. In February 2024, this study investigated the publication status, content, and characteristics of “Notices on generative AI” from the websites of 79 pharmacy schools. In addition, the relationship between the presence or absence of AI notices and the Mathematics, Data Science, and AI Smart Higher Education (MDASH) accreditation was studied. A survey of publicly available information on the school websites revealed that 64.5% of universities have published notices on generative AI. These notices were classified into three types: warnings, assumptions of use, and restrictions/prohibitions. The adverse effects on education were more frequently referenced in the restrictions/prohibitions than in the other types. Furthermore, 56.9% of the universities were MDASH-accredited and published generative AI notices, whereas 20.2% were not and had not published. The ethical use of generative AI and its integration into education requires further research, with a continuous need to share information and guidelines among faculty members.
