The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is permitted in this course only in supporting phases (e.g., research, language correction). It is not permitted to use AI to create the main text, conclusions, or arguments. Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT and similar tools) may only be used as a supplementary means of searching for information, not for creating required outputs. It is always necessary to state when and how AI was used. Copying AI-generated results in their literal or slightly modified form and presenting them as your own work is considered plagiarism. All uses of AI tools must be explicitly stated according to the guidelines set by FSV UK, and they must adhere to the broader ethical recommendations provided by Charles University. Students may decide not to use artificial intelligence tools or not to have their work processed by artificial intelligence, and such decisions will be fully respected by lecturers.
