Coursework

Conditions and evidence gaps

IfKW assessments require explicit teacher permission for AI; without it students must assume AI use is not allowed.

Official source ↗

Exams

Conditions and evidence gaps

The recorded IfKW assessment rule requires explicit permission; follow the instructions for the specific examination and unit.

Official source ↗

Disclosure

Conditions and evidence gaps

Privacy and data

Conditions and evidence gaps

IfKW guidance requires consent and German/EU data-protection compliance before personal-information material enters AI systems.

Official source ↗

Institutional tools

Conditions and evidence gaps

Microsoft Copilot is listed with conditional access; this does not override the explicit-permission rule for IfKW assessments.

Official source ↗

Research and publication

Conditions and evidence gaps

Medical Faculty dissertation authors must identify when, where and how extensively AI was used, name it in the affidavit and mark affected sections.

Official source ↗

Academic integrity

Conditions and evidence gaps

IfKW treats unattributed verbatim or minimally changed AI text as plagiarism; substantial unattributed use in assessed work can fail.

Official source ↗

Teaching guidance

Conditions and evidence gaps

LMU teaching guidance recommends e-exam tasks involving critical reflection on ChatGPT’s limitations rather than simple recall.

Official source ↗

Security and procurement

Conditions and evidence gaps

The current reviewed Claims do not specify an AI security-review or procurement procedure.
