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

In the templates for academic papers as well as in the AI disclosure template, a table is included that must be completed in full when artificial intelligence is used. The specific use of AI and the prompts used must be documented transparently in this table. If the tool used allows the generation of a tracking link (e.g., with ChatGPT), this must also be provided in the last column of the table.

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."
