Written theses are intended to demonstrate that students are able to document their own academic work in a comprehensible and technically correct manner.

Previously, the result, i.e. the finished text, was also used as a proxy for the assessment of the actual, previously completed academic work as part of the Bachelor's or Master's project. However, since the widespread availability of language models and AI tools, this has become difficult because they can formulate a reasonably meaningful and coherent text on almost any topic without much effort.

In a World Café, we would therefore like to discuss which tools and which approaches are permitted when writing theses and which are not. Nobody will question the use of simple spelling correction.

The same applies to the grammar correction and word suggestions integrated in Office programmes.

by a thesaurus. However, spelling and grammar corrections are also available via online services such as grammarly.com or DeepL Write, as are high-quality automated translations.

Are such services also allowed as tools or not, and if not, why not?

The same applies to AI-based language models that can be used to automatically convert key points into continuous text or summarise sections, for example. Should such

use be documented and if so, how? Is it even possible to provide evidence of unauthorised use and what consequences could this have?

The workshop is intended to create a little more transparency here and possibly support the establishment of corresponding AI guidelines.
