Use of artificial intelligence

The Marketing Department generally encourages the transparent use of various AI tools, as this enables productivity and creativity gains.

Different artificial intelligences may provide incorrect information on research topics or even create fictitious sources, which is why the output must always be checked. In addition, some content may contain bias (e.g., discriminatory content), which means the output should be critically assessed. In general, AI outputs are often a good starting point, but they must be critically reviewed and adapted.

AI tools can be applied in different ways. Here are a few examples:

Area of Application Description Example Tools
Brainstorming Ideas for examples, introduction, headings, study design, implications, further research Perplexity, You, Writsonic, Flow GPT, ChatGPT, Bing
Research References to relevant data and facts, source recommendations Connected papers, Elicit, Explain papers, Research rabbit
Table of Contents Developing a rough structure for a seminar paper ChatGPT, Writesonic
Text Creation Formulations, spelling check ChatGPT, DeepL Write, Grammarly
Translations Translation of literature, translation of qualitative data DeepL

For the sake of transparency, when using artificial intelligence, a table should be included in the appendix that specifies the exact use and input prompts. If the tool used offers the option to generate a traceable link, this should also be provided. This is the case, for example, with ChatGPT.

Here is an example of a table:

Tool Description of use URL (if applicable)
ChatGPT Support with outline drafting ChatGPT history link
ChatGPT How to properly use AI in acemedic writing? ChatGPT history link
Deepl Translation of abstracts  

Even if you did not use an AI tool, you should mention this in the appendix. In this case, it is sufficient to include the following sentence: "I did not use any AI tools to write this scientific paper."
