Article | Title and summary |
|---|---|
1 | Purpose and Scope Outlines the use of AI generative models in academic writing at KFH, emphasizing adherence to scientific and ethical principles without diminishing student independence |
2 | Permitted Use of AI |
2.1 | Ethical and Scientific Principles AI use is allowed under strict adherence to ethical and scientific standards. Students must ensure proper handling of sources and maintain transparency about AI use in their work |
2.2 | Permitted Use of AI All types of generative models for image, text, or sound creation are permissible, but transparency in their use and thus documentation in the appendix is required |
2.3 | Creation of Text Material Direct copy-pasting of AI-generated texts is prohibited. AI should be used as an "informed conversational partner," and critical engagement with AI-generated text is necessary |
2.4 | Creation of Images Use of generative models for image creation is allowed. Images created using AI must be properly credited and documented |
2.5 | Documentation in the Appendix The use of AI in academic writing must be documented in a table in the appendix, specifying the AI tools used, their application, the critical review process, and the location in the manuscript this applies to |
3 | Prohibited Use of AI Directly using texts from AI or other people as part of academic work is forbidden. This applies to all forms of writing, and any violation will be treated commensurate with plagiarism |
4 | Exceptions Exceptions to these guidelines are possible if the academic assignment specifies different requirements |
5 | Effective Date The guidelines became effective on July 1, 2023, and supplemented existing regulations and guidelines for academic writing at KFH |
