We have developed and published a handout for all those responsible in education (teachers, managers of educational institutions and in education policy).
This handout from the German Network „Ethische Nutzung von KI“ (Ethical use of AI) is intended as initial information for lecturers at universities who have not yet worked with AI. It consists of basic statements on the use of AI at universities and a FAQ list with recommendations for practice.
We have chosen this short form of handout because there are already numerous studies and scientific papers on the use of AI, but no two-page introduction that can be passed on to interested parties.
The handout is available here for download and for open and free distribution, adaptation and reuse (thanks to the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 licence):
Further information, examples and recommended reading will follow here.
