Teaching & Learning
- At the Faculty of Economics and Management, AI use in written coursework is partly permitted but set at examiner/module level
- The examination board guidance states that at least literature research and text correction should generally be allowed for term papers, seminar papers, and final theses without a notification requirement, while the exact permitted scope depends on the core independent performance defined by the examiner
In Abhängigkeit dieser zu bewertenden (Kern-)Eigenleistung erfolgt dann die Festlegung der erlaubten Hilfsmittel und damit auch Art und Umfang einer mgl. Nutzung
von KI-Tools durch die Prüfer modulspezifisch, d. h. im individuellen Prüfungskontext ggf. unterschiedlich (= Heterogenitätsprinzip).
PA-Postulat:
o Haus-/ Seminar-/ Abschlussarbeiten:
KI-Einsatz mindestens zur Literaturrecherche + Textkorrektur grundsätzlich (ohne Anzeigepflicht) zulassen

o Klausuren + Onlineprüfungen (sA):
KI-Einsatz grundsätzlich zu versagen (analog zu Smartphone/-watch)

KI-Einsatz gänzlich modulspezifisch festzulegen
The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in a thesis or an answer to a question (including but not limited to text, figures, images and code) must be disclosed. The AI system used must be specified, and specific sections of the paper or answer where AI-generated content is used must be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation of the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content. The reason for using the tools should also be stated.
- However, the provided sources do not define explicit rules for students' personal non-graded study assistance use of AI tools
- The university provides support for developing AI-related skills in teaching and learning and offers a data-protection-compliant AI service

- In the Faculty of Computer Science, AI-generated code used in theses or answers to examination questions is permitted only with mandatory disclosure
- The policy explicitly includes code among the content types that must be disclosed, and the author must remain responsible for the scientific contribution
The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in a thesis or an answer to a question (including but not limited to text, figures, images and code) must be disclosed. The AI system used must be specified, and specific sections of the paper or answer where AI-generated content is used must be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation of the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content. The reason for using the tools should also be stated.
Even when using generative AI, the scientific contribution must be made by the author.
Research
- Grammar improvement with AI is recognized as common practice, but it still requires disclosure, and the author must remain the source of the scientific contribution
- For dissertations in the Faculty of Computer Science, AI-generated content in the dissertation must be disclosed, with the AI system named, relevant sections identified, and the level of use explained; the reason for use should also be stated
Die Verwendung von Inhalten, die durch künstliche Intelligenz (KI) in einem Artikel
generiert wurden (einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf Text, Abbildungen, Bilder
und Code), muss in der Dissertation offengelegt werden. Das verwendete KI-System
ist anzugeben und bestimmte Abschnitte des Artikels, in denen KI-generierte Inhalte
verwendet werden, sind zu kennzeichnen und mit einer kurzen Erklärung zu versehen,
auf welcher Ebene das KI-System zur Generierung der Inhalte verwendet wurde.
Ebenso soll der Grund für die Verwendung der Tools angeben werden.
Die Verwendung von KI-Systemen für die Bearbeitung und Verbesserung der

The use of AI systems for editing and improving grammar is common practice. Disclosure as described above is also required in this case, but it can be provided in summary form for the entire work.
Even when using generative AI, the scientific contribution must be made by the author.
- However, the provided sources do not define AI-specific rules for grant proposals, IRB applications, or ethics declarations
- The university has institution-level research integrity structures and states that all persons engaged in research at the university are obliged to comply with the general principles of good scientific practice
Gemäß § 4 Abs. 5 des Gesetzes über die Hochschulen des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt (HSG LSA)
sind alle an der Hochschule wissenschaftlich Tätigen zur Einhaltung der allgemeinen
Grundsätze guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis verpflichtet.
Um alle Forschenden an der OVGU bei der Aufgabe zu unterstützen, die Standards guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis (GWP) im Alltag optimal in ihre drei großen Aufgaben - Forschung, Lehre und Nachwuchsförderung - zu integrieren, hat die OVGU die Servicestelle Wissenschaftliche Integrität geschaffen.
Academic Integrity
- Disclosure requirements are explicit in both the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Economics and Management
- Computer Science requires disclosure of AI-generated content, identification of the AI system, specification of the sections affected, explanation of the level of use, and the reason for use
- In Economics and Management, AI-derived passages in coursework must be marked with source attribution, AI transcripts must be fully deposited in the digital version, and the tool documentation may include the tool name, version, access date, URL, prompt, application classification, and output

KI-Tools
Zur Erstellung der Arbeit genutzte KI-basierte Tools können wie folgt dokumentiert werden:
Name des KI-Tools, Softwareversion, ggfs. Datum des Abrufs, ggfs. URL, verwendeter
Prompt (Fragestellung des Verfassers), Klassifizierung der Anwendung und ggfs. Ergebnis

- The university and faculties describe enforcement mechanisms for plagiarism and deception and allow plagiarism-checking software, but they also caution against overreliance on detection reports
- In the Faculty of Computer Science, a TurnItIn report alone is not sufficient to establish plagiarism in a thesis because it can produce false positives and false negatives; in the Faculty of Economics and Management, students may be required to consent to software-based plagiarism checking, and deceptive conduct can result in a failing grade
If plagiarism is detected in a thesis, an expert opinion must still be prepared. A TurnItIn report is not sufficient here, as TurnItIn can certainly lead to many false positives (e.g. due to low authorship) and also false negatives (e.g. due to rewording).
dass meine Arbeit mittels Software auf Plagiate überprüft werden kann. Mir ist bekannt, dass es
sich bei der Abgabe eines Plagiats um ein schweres akademisches Fehlverhalten handelt und dass
Täuschungen nach der für mich gültigen Studien- und Prüfungsordnung geahndet werden.
Mir ist bewusst,
dass im Falle eines Täuschungsversuchs die Arbeit von Amts wegen als mit „nicht ausreichend
(5,0“ bewertet gilt
Institutional & Administrative
