General Information on Using AI at the University of Greifswald

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in research, teaching and everyday life at universities. Particular focus is placed on the use of generative AI, which opens up new opportunities for research, studies and teaching, whilst at the same time raising questions regarding good academic practice and its use in the context of examinations, coursework, and theses. Issues such as data protection, copyright, and the responsible handling of sensitive data also play a significant role. This page provides a summary of key information on regulations, tools, support , and training programmes. It therefore serves as a guide for students, lecturers, and members of staff on the use of AI in different university settings.

Generative AI needs to be used in a thoughtful and responsible manner. It is vital that you comply with the study and teaching regulations and clearly indicate how you have used AI. The protection of personal and sensitive data takes top priority; entering such data into external AI applications is not permitted (see also the Guidelines on the Use of AI). Copyright issues must also be taken into account. Generative AI should therefore only be used as a support tool and not act as a substitute your your own independent work!
