Generative AI tools are powerful tools that, used correctly, can help you learn more effectively.

We encourage you to experiment with using generative AI tools during your education, but only use generative AI in a responsible and conscious manner. Do not use generative AI in situations where it will reduce your own learning. Do not trust AI-generated information to be correct. Always check, for each specific course, how you are allowed to use generative AI

In this course, there are strict limitations on how you can use generative AI. The reason is pedagogical. As you see in the intended learning outcomes, the course emphasises learning and training how to do personal reflections on different topics and how to express these personal reflections in writing and in seminars. It is your own reflections, arguments and experiences that must be expressed in the assignments.

Permitted use of generative AI

In all assignments of this course, you are welcome to use generative AI for typesetting with LaTeX and for proofreading (checking the spelling and grammar) of your text. You do not need to disclose that you have used generative AI in this way.

You are not allowed to submit any text that has been directly produced by a generative AI tool.

However, you may use generative AI in order to research ideas that you intend to write about in your reflection – but in this case you must disclose how you made use of generative AI. See below for how to make the disclosure.

You are not allowed to use generative AI tools (except for proofreading) when you comment on other students' reflections or write replies to comments you have received.

Disclosure of use of generative AI

To ensure academic transparency, you must disclose whether and how generative AI has been used in your work. The disclosure should be made as follows:

For each use of generative AI (except for assistance with typesetting and proofreading), you must explain in writing which generative AI tool you used and which prompt you gave to the tool. Include the explanation at the end of your reflection document. The explanation does not count towards the total number of words required for the reflection. Example: "My reflection on X has been researched using AI tool Y with the following prompt:..."

Note! AI-generated references or quotes must be checked for accuracy and relevance.

Disciplinary action for unauthorized use of generative AI

Everything you submit must be your own work – even if generative AI is used as support, the thinking and conclusions must be your own. Using generative AI in an unauthorized way for examination and graded assignments is considered an attempt to mislead and may lead to disciplinary action. Therefore, be sure to follow the information on this page and what is specified in the assignments, and disclose your use of generative AI.
