AI in Academic Studies and Teaching
AI at the HfJS: Guidelines and Handbook
Generative artificial intelligence is transforming academic work—in student studies, teaching, and exams. The Heidelberg College of Jewish Studies supports the confident, reflective, and responsible use of these tools.
The guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in academic studies and teaching provide a university-wide framework. They address principles, data protection, copyright, equal opportunity, and transparency and documentation requirements regarding the use of generative AI.
The guide on the use of generative AI in academic studies and teaching puts these guidelines into practice. It offers students and faculty concrete guidance on the use of AI in academic work, in courses, and in examinations.
Who are these services for?
- Students can find information here on when and how AI may be used in coursework and exams, how its use must be documented, and what restrictions apply.
- Faculty and adjunct instructors will find guidance on designing courses and exam formats, as well as binding guidelines for the use of AI.
- All university members will find the fundamental principles for a legally compliant, fair, and thoughtful approach to AI.
