11 # University of Cologne AI policy record
2+academic_integrity: The University of Cologne Justitiariat says an exam or significant parts of an exam fully generated by AI are not an independent performance and are prohibited as deception.
3+Evidence (de, d71f4939026b): Werden die gesamte Prüfung oder bedeutende Teile davon vollständig mittels KI generiert, handelt es sich nicht um eine selbstständige Leistung ... und ist somit verboten. Es liegt eine Täuschung vor.
4+academic_integrity: The University of Cologne Justitiariat says current AI text detector software is not sufficient evidence of deception by itself; additional circumstances are needed to prove a deception act.
5+Evidence (de, d71f4939026b): Aktuell gibt es jedoch keine verlässliche Methode KI-generierte Texte nachzuweisen. ... Diese stellen aber keinen ausreichenden Beleg für eine Täuschungshandlung dar. Für den Nachweis einer Täuschungshandlung müssen daher weitere Umstände hinzukommen.
6+ai_tool_treatment: The University of Cologne Justitiariat says AI use in examinations is not objectionable under examination law when the student still produces their own independent work.
7+Evidence (de, d71f4939026b): Wird KI hingegen so genutzt, dass noch eine eigene Leistung erbracht wird, spricht prüfungsrechtlich nichts gegen eine Nutzung von KI in Prüfungen.
8+academic_integrity: For term papers, theses, take-home exams, papers, and similar work, the University of Cologne Justitiariat says AI use is generally possible if independent work remains, and examiners may require disclosure of both the AI use and the related prompts depending on the use.
9+Evidence (de, d71f4939026b): In Haus- und Abschlussarbeiten ist die Nutzung ... grundsätzlich möglich, solange noch eine eigenständige Leistung erbracht wird. ... Je nach Einsatz der KI kann durch die Prüfenden verlangt werden, dass nicht nur die Verwendung, sondern auch die zugehörigen Abfragebefehle (Prompts) offengelegt werden.
10+teaching: On its central teaching page, the University of Cologne says its current teaching-and-learning guidelines for generative AI are to address and explore AI-supported writing proactively and to use AI systems with maximum transparency.
11+Evidence (de, fabf1c063d26): Mit Blick auf die Rolle von generativer KI im Kontext von Lehren und Lernen folgen wir aktuell zwei Leitlinien: 1. KI-gestütztes Schreiben ... sollte proaktiv platziert, verhandelt und exploriert werden 2. Der Einsatz von KI-Systemen muss mit maximaler Transparenz erfolgen
