11 # RWTH Aachen University AI policy record
2+ai_tool_treatment: RWTH states that students have been able to use RWTHgpt since December 11, 2024, with no separate role or activation necessary.
3+Evidence (en, 0606cc2d24a7): Since December 11, 2024, students are also able to use RWTHgpt. No separate role or activation is necessary for this.
4+academic_integrity: RWTH's scenario catalog states that assessment of examination work using AI systems is not permissible at the present time, while limited help drafting feedback may be conceivable if it gives the AI no decision-making role, transfers no personal data, and is finally checked by humans.
5+Evidence (de, 020cd5464546): Zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt ist deshalb die Bewertung von Prüfungsleistungen mithilfe von KI-Systemen unzulässig. Eine begrenzte Unterstützung bei der Ausformulierung von Rückmeldungen, die keinerlei Entscheidungskompetenz beim KI-System verortet, keine personenbezogenen Daten überträgt und in jedem Fall abschließend von Menschen überprüft wird, ist hingegen denkbar.
6+teaching: For teaching contexts, RWTH's scenario catalog says students should not be required to use registration-required services that are not offered by the university, and it recommends using only services provided by RWTH.
7+Evidence (de, 020cd5464546): Generell darf von Studierenden nicht verlangt werden, für eine Lehrveranstaltung oder eine Prüfung anmeldepflichtige Dienste zu verwenden, die nicht von der Hochschule angeboten werden. Deshalb wird ausschließlich die Nutzung solcher Dienste empfohlen, die von der RWTH angeboten werden.
8+source_status: RWTH's CLS documents hub presents a generative-AI legal guidance package and states that these legal-aspect documents are currently available only in German.
9+Evidence (en, b0b72667fbe4): RWTH enables and promotes access to generative AI systems, for example to the “RWTHgpt” application. For this purpose, RWTH provides a series of explanatory documents, which are linked below. As these documents mainly deal with legal aspects, there are currently no versions available in English.
10+procurement: RWTH's scenario catalog says external AI systems may be used for university tasks only with attention to legal conditions, and that deployment or procurement of external services requires data-protection and other legal clarifications plus staff co-determination where employee services are involved.
11+Evidence (de, 020cd5464546): Sollen externe KI-Systeme eingesetzt oder beschafft werden, erfordert dies eine Datenschutzklärung mit besonderer Beachtung des Transparenzgebots, der Zweckbindung und der Datenminimierung nach Art. 5 DS-GVO, c) eine Datenschutzfolgeabschätzung sowie d) weitere Rechtsklärungen ... Sollen Dienste für Mitarbeitende der RWTH eingesetzt werden, ist deren Einsatz regelmäßig mitbestimmungspflichtig.
12+academic_integrity: RWTH's exam-related questions document treats unauthorized use of AI systems in exams as an attempt to deceive, but says suspicion should not primarily be based on automatic AI-detector evaluation.
13+Evidence (de, 3e93ea90e6ac): Generell stellt der unzulässige Einsatz von KI-Systemen einen Täuschungsversuch dar. Konnte ein solcher Täuschungsversuch nicht direkt beobachtet werden, liegt ein Täuschungsverdacht vor. Nach aktuellem Stand kann ein solcher Täuschungsverdacht dabei nicht primär auf die Bewertung durch ein automatisches System zur KI-Detektion gestützt werden.
14+privacy: RWTH's general legal questions document says uploading photos, videos, audio recordings, or sensitive/personally identifying information about other people to an AI system is impermissible unless the data is already lawfully public or the affected person has consented.
15+Evidence (de, debfc8ac155b): Das Hochladen von Personenfotos, Videos, Audioaufzeichnungen oder die Eingabe sensibler Daten oder Informationen über Personen mit ausführlichen biografischen Angaben, die nicht ohnehin schon rechtmäßig öffentlich verfügbar gemacht sind, ist ohne Einwilligung der betroffenen Personen unzulässig.
