Leitfaden zum Einsatz von generativen KI-Werkzeugen in Forschung, Lehre und Verwaltung an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Institution: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Category: AI Guidelines
Website: https://ki.cms.hu-berlin.de/de/ki-policy-an-der-hu/leitfaden-zum-einsatz-generativer-ki

Description

The guideline provides recommendations for the secure and data protection-compliant use of generative AI in research, teaching, and administration at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It clarifies legal, data protection, and cybersecurity risks associated with using commercial AI tools and emphasizes the advantage of the university's own internal HU-KI infrastructure. The main benefit lies in the ability to use AI tools without data risks, as inputs and outputs are not stored. The guideline serves as an orientation aid for responsible AI use and is part of the development of a comprehensive AI policy.
