2+source_status: ZHAW has a public university guideline, valid from 1 March 2025, on the use of generative AI systems in assessments.
3+Evidence (de, 0ac8424e0717): Version: 3.0.0 gültig ab: 01.03.2025 ... Diese Richtlinie inklusive des Anhangs Deklarationspflicht KI bei Arbeiten ... erläutert die Verwendung generativer KI-Systeme bei summativen (bewertungsrelevanten) Leistungsnachweisen und richtet sich an Mitarbeitende der ZHAW.
4+academic_integrity: For ZHAW graded assignments, generative AI systems that shape the assignment's content are subject to a declaration obligation so that the AI contribution is recognizable.
5+Evidence (de, 0ac8424e0717): Der Anteil bzw. das Ausmass des Mitwirkens von generativen KI-Systemen an der schöpferischen Leistung ... muss für Dritte erkennbar sein. Grundsätzlich gilt daher eine Deklarationspflicht für alle generativen KI-Systeme, welche eine Arbeit inhaltlich mitgestalten.
6+ai_tool_treatment: For ZHAW examinations, specific generative AI systems are not allowed unless they are explicitly stated as permitted aids.
7+Evidence (de, 0ac8424e0717): Sofern spezifische generative KI-Systeme nicht explizit als erlaubte Hilfsmittel angegeben werden, ist ihre Verwendung bei einer Prüfung unerlaubt.
8+privacy: ZHAW states that personal data, data requiring heightened protection, and legally or contractually confidential data may not be processed with generative AI systems unless ZHAW has reviewed and approved those systems for data-protection compliance.
9+Evidence (de, 0ac8424e0717): Personendaten und andere Daten mit erhöhtem Schutzbedarf sowie Daten, welche einer vertraglichen oder gesetzlichen Geheimhaltung unterliegen, dürfen nicht mit generativen KI-Systemen bearbeitet werden, sofern diese Systeme hierfür nicht von der ZHAW datenschutzrechtlich geprüft und freigegeben worden sind.
10+academic_integrity: ZHAW's declaration annex requires incorporated generative-AI output to be cited, requires listed tools and purposes for text creation or editing uses, and generally requires a method-section description of AI use.
11+Evidence (de, 8230b3772e45): Ein generatives KI-System ist im Text der Arbeit zu zitieren, wenn schöpferische Inhalte ... in die eigene Arbeit ... eingebaut werden. ... die verwendeten Werkzeuge unter Angabe des Verwendungszwecks ... aufgelistet ... Zur besseren Erkennbarkeit ... muss generell ... beschrieben werden, wie generative KI-Systeme in der Arbeit verwendet wurden.
12+teaching: For evaluating assessments, ZHAW says teaching staff may use generative AI only as an aid for open-ended task formats and should refrain from using software to detect AI-generated text for assessment purposes.
13+Evidence (de, 0ac8424e0717): Zudem dürfen KI-Systeme bei der Bewertung offener Aufgabenformate nur als Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden. Die Verwendung von Software zur Erkennung von KI-generierten Texten zum Zweck der Leistungsbewertung ist zu unterlassen.
