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 examines legal, data protection, and cybersecurity aspects as well as risks associated with using commercial AI tools. The main benefit lies in clear orientation for staff to protect confidential data and intellectual property. Particularly emphasized is the use of the CMS’s own data protection-compliant AI infrastructure, which can be used without storing inputs and outputs.

Target Audience

Students, faculty, researchers, administration/management

Contents

Topics & Focus Areas: Use of generative AI in research, teaching, and administration at HU Berlin. Focus on data protection, copyright, IT security, and responsible usage.
Structure:
1. Introduction & HU-specific AI infrastructure
2. Use of AI outputs (critical evaluation required)
3. Data protection & confidentiality (no sensitive data in external tools)
4. Copyright & patent law (do not relinquish intellectual property)
5. IT security (phishing, manipulations)
6. Procurement of AI tools (pre-check recommended)
7. Information on HU-internal, data protection-compliant AI offerings

Practical Recommendations:
- Use exclusively HU-owned AI tools (KI-Tools, JupyterHub, HPC@HU)
- Do not enter personal or confidential data into external AI tools
- Always critically evaluate AI outputs – responsibility lies with the user
- For procurement: Pre-check by CMS, data protection, and IT security officers
- AI-enabled phishing: Be cautious with emails and phone calls
