Selected offerings at the University of Graz
Im Webinar erhalten Sie eine Orientierung zu generativen KI-Anwendungen und deren Bedeutung für die Hochschullehre. Neben Rahmenbedingungen an der Universität Graz geht es darum, die eigene Haltung zu schärfen und bei Studierenden kritische Reflexionskompetenz im Umgang mit generativen KI-Tools zu fördern.
This session lays the groundwork for a reflective and ethically responsible approach to AI in research. Together, we examine the legal frameworks and key problem areas surrounding the use of AI in academia, and explore where the boundaries of academic integrity and scholarly responsibility lie. We also look at how AI use can be meaningfully documented throughout the research and writing process — and correctly and transparently disclosed in academic work.
In this session, participants learn which data from an AI conversation is stored in the background and what it may subsequently be used for. We also clarify which account settings every researcher should know and adjust to protect sensitive research content, where the key differences between private and institutional AI access lie, and work through a concrete decision framework that makes it possible to assess at any point which research content can safely be shared with AI - and where particular caution is warranted.
In this session, we look at how generative AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Mistral work behind the curtain, and which invisible factors shape the quality and reliability of an AI output. Building on this, we explore how to steer AI effectively with a sovereign prompting strategy:
from the three core building blocks of a strong prompt, beyond developing a personal priming abstract, to recognising and counteracting common distortions in AI conversations before they affect the quality of your work.
Experienced AI users face a particular — and often unnoticed — challenge: the smoother collaboration with AI works, the faster the boundaries between "AI as a tool" and "AI as a guiding authority" begin to blur. This session is aimed especially at those who already use AI regularly in academic research and want to ensure they retain intellectual responsibility and leadership of their project.
In the webinars and "AI spotlights" you will find compact and introductory information on various generative AI systems and their use in university teaching.
The learning path teaches basic skills for the critically reflective and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
This online course offers an introduction to the basics of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and to uniGPT, the University of Graz's privacy-friendly, internal AI chatbot.
This online course provides a thorough and practical introduction to the world of artificial intelligence – specifically tailored to everyday working life at a university.
