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.
