Templates for course descriptions in relation to the use of (text) generative AI systems

The "Orientation guidelines for dealing with text-generating AI systems at the University of Graz" recommends proactively promoting the use of text-generating AI systems in studies and teaching. It is up to the lecturers to decide whether and in what form text-generating AI systems are used in courses. The respective form of use must be indicated in the course description. The four text modules available for download here serve as (modifiable) templates.

It is recommended to insert the text modules in the "Note" field in the course description.

Please note the following points when using the text templates:

• Each text template can be customized according to the intended use of text-generative AI systems in the course.
• Please make sure that the wording used in the course description is designed in such a way that it corresponds to the actual use of text-generative AI tools in the course and in the performance assessment.
• When reusing the (modified) text templates in future semesters, please check whether the chosen wording is still valid.
• You can of course also integrate your own wording on the use of text-generative AI systems into your course description that is not based on the text templates.
• Students must not be obliged to use external AI systems and should in any case be made aware that data processing takes place to varying degrees (often not in compliance with the GDPR) when using AI services and that input texts can generally be used to further develop the respective services.
