ODT AI & Research Integrity: What to do and what to avoid

Participation

 Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance.

New technologies cause uncertainty – this is especially true for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Meanwhile, researchers find a huge array of AI-based tools at their disposal with new opportunities emerging almost daily. Our rulebooks on good research practice can hardly keep up with this development. Accordingly, many questions arise: Can I use AI tools for my dissertation? Should I make it transparent, which AI tools I use and, if so, how? How shall I document the use of AI? When publishing, can AI assist me or even be an author?

After a short introduction to generative AI we will address these questions from the perspective of good research practice. We will introduce what different research integrity guidelines have to say regarding the proper use of AI and what this implies for your thesis work. Case examples will help us making the discussion more concrete and there will be plenty of time for your questions.
