Description

The guideline from BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg provides comprehensive orientation for the responsible use of generative AI tools in higher education teaching and academic work. It explains legal, ethical, and data protection aspects, particularly the transparency obligation when using AI and the responsibility for the accuracy of generated content. The main benefit lies in supporting teaching staff and researchers in the critical, reflective integration of AI into their work. Furthermore, it refers to concrete support tools such as BTU.HAWKI, training sessions, and self-learning offerings.
