Use of AI: AI tools, such as language models, may be used to perform tasks, for example to retrieve information and generate initial guidelines for solutions. In line with the principles of responsible use of AI, we require the following:

Own outputs and understanding: each student is responsible for all the content he/she writes. Students must ensure that they understand and can explain the content and context of their output.
Role of AI: The use of AI is allowed for data mining and generating initial ideas, but the solutions and analyses themselves must be developed and refined using the student's own ideas and insights. The content provided by AI should not be the student's decisive input, but rather a tool.

Processing and reasoning: students must be able to justify and give reasons for the processing of case studies and the conclusions and solutions proposed. This includes an explanation of how the information provided by the AI tools was used and what own thought processes were used to reach the final results.

In reflecting on individual assignments, teachers may ask follow-up questions, written or oral, to assess students' understanding and ability to justify their own work.

Honesty and use of sources: all sources and AI outputs used must be properly referenced. Plagiarism and unethical use of AI tools are not permitted. Students must also follow the institution's ethical guidelines and rules regarding the use of AI and academic integrity.
