Agreement on AI arrangements for exams

In order to make the possibilities and conditions for the voluntary use of AI tools in student examinations transparent, teachers are advised to agree with their students at the beginning of each course on the rules for using AI-based applications (in short: AI rules for examinations) in the examination associated with the course and to make these transparent.

On this website, you will find three versions of model agreements for you to use when agreeing the use of AI with your students.

Three variants for agreements on AI arrangements for assessment

In order to develop regulations for the application of AI tools, the following three basic variants can be used. These are suggestions that can be selected and adopted, but can also be tailored, extended or modified to the respective subject discipline or course.

  •  Variant 1 can be used for events that do not impose any restrictions on the use of AI-based tools.

  • In variant 2, the use of AI-based applications is permitted or excluded for the accomplishment of certain subtasks. To define the subtasks, the following actions can be distinguished, for example:
    • Knowledge-generating actions: Research, reading, finding topics, developing questions, acquiring and concretising knowledge
    • Text-structuring activities: Outline and structure of the work
    • Linguistically-oriented actions: Formulating, translating and linguistically revising one's own text.

  •  In variant 3, the use of AI-based applications is not permitted in principle, as they counteract the achievement of the teaching-learning objectives.
