Use of generative AI tools:

The use and citation of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT or MS Copilot) in
seminar papers and other coursework must comply with the decrees of the IMS
Director No. 7/2023 and 9/2023.
Generative AI tools may be used unless explicitly prohibited by the instructor.
However, they may not be used to generate substantial sections of the text or replace
the student’s own intellectual contribution. The student remains fully responsible for
any content generated with assistance of AI tools.
Presenting AI-generated content, whether verbatim, rephrased, or only slightly
modified, as one's own work constitutes plagiarism.
Every submitted paper must include a transparent statement specifying which
generative AI tools were used, in which stage of the work they were employed, and
how they were used, or confirming that no generative AI tools were used. If this
statement is missing or incomplete, the instructor is not permitted to accept the paper
for evaluation.
Unless the instructor explicitly prohibits the use of generative AI tools, the decision to
use or not to use them rests fully with the student. The student has the right to
request that the instructor does not use AI assistance for evaluating their work.
