Subprojekt AI in studying, teaching and exams

Developing AI policy for universities in Lower Saxony

This sub-project develops cross-university advisory, support and training services, trials digital learning technologies and tests innovative teaching and learning concepts. It monitors current developments in the field of AI and draws up policies that support teachers, students and administrators in the legally compliant and future-oriented use of AI.
