Original evidence

Evidence 1
ETH Zurich advocates a proactive approach to the use of generative AI (GenAI) within educational contexts, emphasising the responsible use of this technology among students and lecturers.

Academic Integrity

Students are responsible for the content of work they submit. Performance assessments must be conducted independently and personally; GenAI may serve a supplementary role but not replace student efforts.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Responsibility: You are responsible for the content of work you submit... Performance assessments must be conducted independently and personally. GenAI may serve a supplementary role, helping you but not replacing your efforts.

Teaching

Lecturers determine whether and how GenAI may be used in their courses and for respective assessments. Teaching materials created with GenAI must be subjected to quality control by the lecturer.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
As a lecturer you are responsible for the content you provide to your students. This means that teaching materials created with GenAI must be subjected to quality control by you... You determine whether and how GenAI may be used in your courses.

Academic Integrity

Violations of GenAI guidelines such as use of unauthorised aids or non-disclosure of their use are subject to disciplinary action under existing performance assessment rules and the declaration of originality.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Legal aspects of GenAI uses are covered by the existing rules for performance assessments and the 'declaration of originality'. Violations such as use of unauthorised aids or non-disclosure of their use will continue to be subject to disciplinary action.

Ai Tool Treatment

ETH Zurich recommends Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and NotebookLM for teaching purposes, as they offer data-protected access via ETH accounts where personal data is not used for training models.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
The Gemini and NotebookLM offerings from Google, as well as Copilot from Microsoft, which are accessible via an ETH cloud subscription, are available to all ETH employees and students via secure access. It is therefore recommended that these tools be used primarily for teaching purposes.

Privacy

Students must refrain from disclosing copyrighted, private, or confidential information to commercial GenAI clients unless expressly permitted, and must respect privacy and copyright of content they work with.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
It is important to respect the privacy and copyright of the content being worked with... If data is passed on to AI-based tools or released for them, it must be clarified in advance that no rights are being violated.

Teaching

ETH Zurich requires transparency about GenAI use: students must declare which tools they used and for which parts of their work; lecturers must communicate when GenAI use is permitted and make their own GenAI use visible.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Transparency: Be transparent about your use of GenAI. Clearly state which tools you have used for which part of your work using the correct style guide.

Academic Integrity

ETH Zurich states that technical recognition of AI-generated output is currently unreliable and will probably remain so; trust in such methods is not appropriate.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence85%

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Technical recognition of output generated using generative AI is currently unreliable and will probably remain so in the future. Trust in such a method is therefore not appropriate.
