Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been part of our everyday lives – for example, when streaming, shopping online or using voice assistants. With tools such as ChatGPT, it is also increasingly coming to the fore in university teaching. The University of Duisburg-Essen has published a guide entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence in Study and Teaching’, which brings together key information and framework conditions. On this page, you will find the most important content from the guide, supplementary self-study resources and event information, as well as access to the UDE’s AI portal.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming not only teaching and everyday life, but also, to an increasing extent, scientific research. On this page, you will find information on the UDE’s strategic guidelines, the positions of the German Research Foundation (DFG), and guidance from the Ombudsman for Science. These resources provide guidance on the responsible use of AI in research and address issues relating to copyright, scientific practice and ethical standards.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a wide range of opportunities to simplify processes and make them more efficient in day-to-day work. The university’s internal AI portal provides the appropriate tools for this. Recommendations for action and a catalogue of scenarios help UDE staff to use AI responsibly, familiarise themselves with typical applications and develop safe practices for working with generative AI services.
