The KU has published a guide on AI, which you can view here. Individual faculties have also drawn up recommendations. You can obtain information on this from your dean of studies.

You can access the KU's ChatGPT instance at ai.ku.de (on the intranet and via VPN).

At chat-ai.academiccloud.de/chat, you can use free AI models provided by the Society for Scientific Data Processing. To do so, click on "federated login", then select KU from the list and log in with your KU ID. 

You can access Microsoft Copilot at copilot.microsoft.com. To do so, you need a Microsoft work account. You can find instructions here: https://www.ku.de/rechenzentrum/it-services/hard-und-software/software/microsoft-office-365. However, according to a study by the European Broadcasting Union, Copilot has significant shortcomings, which is why its use is not recommended. 

If you would like to know more, you can find the study here.

Yes, within the framework of the examination regulations applicable at KU, you can decide for yourself which aids are permitted in your course. However, please bear in mind that AI tools are becoming increasingly integrated into students' everyday lives. For example, some word processing programmes already integrate various AI functions (text generation, revision, translation, etc.) into their user interface. Against this backdrop, a strict ban on all AI tools does not appear to be practical. Another problem is proving violations of an AI ban (see previous question).

We strongly advise against using the tools circulating on the internet for detecting AI-generated texts. They all regularly produce false positive results. If you suspect that students have used AI tools without permission, talk to them. It is not legally permissible to fail students on the basis of such suspicions. 

For future courses, we recommend (see also Chapter 4 of the AI guide):

• Work with your students to develop rules for the use of AI tools (see the AI guide for more information).
• Clarify whether, in view of technical developments, it is necessary (and possible) to adapt the examination format of your course. For example, shift parts of a written assignment in the form of writing tasks into your course.
• If you have not already done so, introduce a methodology section for written assignments. Here, students can describe and reflect on their use of AI tools (What prompts were entered? How were the text modules evaluated and used? etc.).
• Require your students to disclose the use of AI tools as aids. Also require that appropriate means be used – e.g. in a footnote – to indicate when a text passage has been edited using an AI tool (grammatical improvements/style, translations, etc.).
• If you use declarations of independence, the following sentence could be added: "I confirm that I have fully disclosed the use of AI tools in this work."
