Use of generative AI for theses and exam (preliminary) work

🇩🇪 Der Fakultätsrat (Beschluss 019/25) hat folgende Regelung für die Nutzung von generativer KI für Abschlussarbeiten und Prüfungs(vor)leistungen beschlossen:

Die Verwendung von Inhalten, die durch künstliche Intelligenz (KI) in einer Arbeit oder einer Antwort auf eine Frage generiert wurden (einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf Text, Abbildungen, Bilder und Code), muss offengelegt werden. Das verwendete KI-System ist anzugeben, und bestimmte Abschnitte der Arbeit bzw. Antwort, in denen KI-generierte Inhalte verwendet werden, sind zu kennzeichnen und mit einer kurzen Erklärung zu versehen, auf welcher Ebene das KI-System zur Generierung der Inhalte verwendet wurde. Ebenso soll der Grund für die Verwendung der Tools angeben werden.

Die Verwendung von KI-Systemen für die Bearbeitung und Verbesserung der Grammatik ist gängige Praxis. Auch in diesem Fall ist eine Offenlegung wie oben beschrieben erforderlich, sie kann aber summarisch für die gesamte Arbeit erfolgen.

Auch bei Verwendung von generativer KI muss die wissenschaftliche Eigenleistung selbst erbracht werden.

🇺🇸 The Faculty Council (Resolution 019/25) has adopted the following regulation for the use of generative AI in theses and (preliminary) examination work:

The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in a paper or answer to a question (including, but not limited to, text, illustrations, images, and code) must be disclosed. The AI system used must be specified, and specific sections of the work or response in which AI-generated content is used must be marked and accompanied by a brief explanation of the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content. The reason for using the tools should also be stated.

The use of AI systems for editing and improving grammar is common practice. In this case, too, disclosure as described above is required, but it can be done summarily for the entire work.

Even when using generative AI, the scientific work itself must be performed independently.

Student Council of the Faculty of Computer Science (student representation)

The Student Council of the Faculty of Computer Science (FaRaFIN for short) is the elected representative body of the students of the Faculty of Computer Science.

It is best known for organizing various events, such as the introductory week, preparatory courses, game nights, Christmas parties, and summer festivals.

In addition, they represent student interests in various committees, such as the Faculty Council, Study Committees, and the Examination Board, with the aim of improving studies and teaching.

Academic Club

The Academic Club is a student-run initiative, led by Internationals at the faculty of computer science. The club will focus on Master's theses and will organize various events and activities related to this topic.

University Awareness Portal

In 2025, the university introduced a new awareness portal. Awareness here refers to topics related to campus life that highlight social inequality, mental health, gender roles, discrimination, and much more.

In doing so, it is fulfilling its responsibility to provide a safe environment for students, teachers, guests, and other members. The portal therefore provides information and sees itself as a mediator for all topics related to awareness:

Discrimination, disadvantage, (sexual) harassment, and violence
Scientific integrity
Feedback on studies and teaching

and more

Advice and complaints can therefore be found on the new Awareness Portal.
