Description

This guideline from the Ombudsman for Science informs researchers about the application of artificial intelligence (KI) in the context of good scientific practice. It compiles frequently asked questions regarding KI use, transparency, copyright, and responsibility, without being prescriptive. The aim is to provide orientation on a rapidly evolving topic and to contextualize existing recommendations. The main benefit lies in clearly distinguishing between research and teaching, as well as identifying gaps and risks associated with KI use.
