Eine Übersicht der genutzten KI-Tools und deren Verwendungszweck ist verpflichtend.
4+ai_tool_treatment: For study and teaching at Heidelberg University, AI and language models such as ChatGPT or DeepL are generally allowed only within rules set by examiners or instructors, and the independent character of the student's work must be preserved.
5+Evidence (de, 0537188b668d): Die Nutzung von KI und Sprachmodellen (LLMs) wie ChatGPT, DeepL oder anderen Werkzeugen ist im Studium und in der Lehre an der UHD grundsätzlich erlaubt. Die spezifische Anwendung muss mit den Prüfer:innen und Lehrenden abgestimmt werden. Zentral ist, dass ein eigenständiger Charakter der Leistung gewahrt bleibt.

11+Evidence (en, b26f13c210d1): The use of AI tools must be explicitly disclosed, specifying when, where, why, and to what extent they were employed in the preparation of the dissertation. AI tools must be used as assistive instruments, not as substitutes for independent intellectual work, critical thinking, or scholarly judgment.
12+ai_tool_treatment: Heidelberg University's computing centre says it develops and hosts its own AI infrastructure and provides the YoKI platform so university members can choose among several large language models.
13+Evidence (de, abe4acc5783f): Um Beschäftigten, Studierenden und Forschenden einen sicheren Zugang zu generativen KI-Modellen zu gewährleisten und diese im Arbeitsalltag konstruktiv zu integrieren, entwickelt und hostet das URZ eigene KI-Intrastruktur und setzt Open-Source-Produkte ein. Über die KI-Plattform YoKI können Universitätsmitglieder aus verschiedenen großen Sprachmodellen auswählen.
