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.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ai_exam_assessment_not_permissible_limited_feedback_support_possible
Evidencia original
Evidence 1Zum 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.

RWTH says AI-based assessment of exam work is currently impermissible; limited support drafting feedback may be conceivable only with no AI decision role, no personal data transfer, and final human review.
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.

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.
Review: Agent reviewed

Evidencia original
Evidence 1RWTH 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.
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.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: external_ai_requires_privacy_legal_procurement_checks
Evidencia original
Evidence 1Sollen 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.

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.

Evidence 1Generell 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.
