The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is bringing about lasting changes to study, teaching and research – and has already done so. This guide is intended to serve as a resource for all members of Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. Here you will find guidance on academic integrity that is practical to implement, as well as support for the responsible use of AI tools in everyday university life.

The guide is divided into a section providing basic guidance and a section offering specific recommendations for students and teaching staff.

 

Fundamentals, legal framework and the university’s stance

The first part of the guide is a concise overview that clarifies all relevant framework conditions: it addresses both the basic functioning of GenKI and important legal aspects (GDPR, copyright law, EU AI Act). It also sets out Mittweida University of Applied Sciences’ stance on GenAI and provides general guidance on the opportunities and risks associated with its use within the university.

This guide is an invitation to dialogue and to the joint development of responsible GenKI practices at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.
