UoT: Guidelines for using generative AI tools
„Thirdly, all members of the University are exhorted to use GenAI responsibly
in line with good scientific practice. Among other things this means that
when working with GenAI it is the individual responsibility of the authors to
ensure that their texts do not contain any plagiarism and all sources are
critically examined.“
Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Assessment Contexts
• „It must also be made clear that students are ultimately responsible for
their own work.“
• „[…] it must be clearly communicated to students whether and, if so, how
generative AI may be used in studies and assessments and how this must
be indicated.“
• Particularly problematic are „Unsupervised written assessments such as
seminar papers, open book exams, Bachelor's and Master's theses, but
also laboratory reports, etc.”
AI in unsupervised written assessments
• Literature search
• Text revisions/editing
• Translations
• Writing new text
Literature and information search
• Just another tool to find relevant material.
• Unproblematic.
• Resources provided by the university library.
• Be aware of ‘hallucinations’!
• Check the sources!
Revising your text with AI tools
• Each submission (report, thesis) is a written assessment. The
writing must be yours.
• Greyish!
• Depends on how much has been revised.
• Not a new problem. Revisions are often being made by:
• Supervisors.
• Peers.
• Word.
• Tools like Grammarly etc.
• Is your personal, original contribution still predominant?
Revising your text with AI tools
Be transparent in acknowledgments:
“The text in chapters 1, 2, 3 has been revised upon feedback from my
fellow student Olaf Oberschlau and my supervisor Petra Professor.”
“The abstract/text/chapter has been revised using ChatGPT4.0. Please
find the prompt history in appendix XY.”
Translating your text with AI tools
• No-go!
• This is not your text.
• Extreme example:
• Upload your papers to ChatGPT. (Be careful: copyrights!)
• Let ChatGPT4o write the synopsis.
• If you transparently declare this, we cannot accept this synopsis.
• If you hide it, it is a case of ghostwriting: scientific fraud!
Writing new text with AI tools
If, for whatever reasons that I cannot see here and now, you include
text fully written by ChatGPT or similar tools, you label it as you would
label citations and provide the prompt history.
AI-written text can be detected post-hoc
