Description

kiChat is a service offered by Justus Liebig University Giessen for using Artificial Intelligence, enabling users to create texts and images using AI systems. The service supports content creation and is based on locally operated language models accessible via a web interface. The main benefit lies in the simple, secure, and data protection-compliant use of AI functions within the university. Inputs (prompts) are processed anonymously and not used for training the models.

Technical Details

  • Technology: ["HAWKI (Webinterface für KI-Anwendungen)", "OpenAI (Sprachmodelle, Auftragsdatenverarbeitung)", "Google (Auftragsdatenverarbeitung)", "Anthropic (Auftragsdatenverarbeitung)", "REST (vermutlich verwendet für API-Kommunikation)", "Session Cookies (Browser-Technologie für Sitzungsverwaltung)"]
  • Platform: kiChat is a web application operated on the university computing center infrastructure of Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU). The platform is implemented as a web interface (based on HAWKI) and is accessible via a web address (https://ki-chat.uni-giessen.de). The language models are run locally on JLU servers or on cloud systems within and outside the EU. Usage is via a browser, without requiring a separate app installation. The platform is integrated into existing university infrastructures (e.g. identity management).

Features

  • Generation of media such as texts or images using Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Input of texts (so-called "prompts") for processing by AI systems
  • Storage of individual user settings (e.g., language, system display)
  • Device-independent provision of user chat histories
  • Use of session cookies to recognize the user after a page change
  • Anonymous transmission of user inputs to a server operated locally at JLU
  • Processing of inputs (prompts) by language models running locally on JLU servers or on cloud systems within and outside the EU
  • Temporary storage of inputs and metadata (ID, timestamp) by OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic
  • Automatic deletion of inputs after a defined period (e.g., 30 days)
  • No use of user inputs for training the language models
