Statement of the AIDAHO project group on the usage of ChatGPT in higher education and research [10.02.23]
The AIDAHO project group has published an assessment on the use of ChatGPT in teaching and research on February 10, 2023.
According to the AIDAHO group, there is no need for an explicit ban on the use of ChatGPT in writing academic papers at the University of Hohenheim.
The AIDAHO team writes in their paper that trying to legally prohibit the use of AI technology in written exams such as term papers and theses is doomed to failure. Instead, they suggest that the principle of transparency should be emphasized in teaching. Of course, it is still unethical to use ChatGPT in academic work without disclosing it, as indicated in the regulations for good scientific practice.
The full potential for ChatGPT to advance knowledge, the scientific research process, and student life can only be achieved with transparent documentation of its use.
