AI applications can be used as a source of inspiration, a tool for evaluating and refining ideas, for translation, and to support learning during the early stages of the work. AI applications can also be helpful in editing student-generated text during the final stages of work. However, AI applications must not be used for the preparation of extensive sections of a graduation thesis (e.g. an entire chapter), fabricating data for analysis, or generating substantive arguments.
