Academic Integrity

TU Graz treats AI tools in examinations as unauthorized aids unless they are explicitly permitted, and the public teaching page says unpermitted AI use in assessment can make an examination attempt invalid due to cheating.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Normalized value: exams_ai_unauthorized_unless_explicitly_permitted

Original evidence

Evidence 1
AI tools during an examination are considered unauthorised in accordance with the section of the statutes on scientific and artistic integrity unless they have been explicitly permitted.

Localized display only

Original evidence

Evidence 2
If AI tools were not permitted in the provision of services and I used them anyway? In this case, this is tantamount to the use of unauthorised aids and the examination attempt will be assessed negatively as "U Ungültig auf Grund von Täuschung" (invalid due to cheating).

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: course_or_thesis_instructor_discretion_with_general_limited_student_use

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students may generally use AI-based tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) such as DeepL, Grammarly and LanguageTool exclusively for spell-checking, translation, and stylistic-grammatical improvement of their own texts.

Localized display only

The Rectorate guideline limits general student use to spelling, translation, and stylistic/grammatical improvement unless teachers authorize or restrict further use.

Original evidence

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: researchers_encouraged_to_use_ai_with_ai_tu_principles

Original evidence

Localized display only

The researcher guide explicitly encourages researchers to integrate AI, while presenting the guide as principles rather than a fixed tool list.

Original evidence

Evidence 2
