General principles for TalTech students on the use of generative artificial intelligence<\/h2>\n

TalTech has established General Principles for the use of generative artificial intelligence<\/a>. In each course, the permitted use of artificial intelligence (hereafter AI) may differ, and below are some general principles. Always follow the lecturer\u2019s instructions in the extended syllabus, and if there are no guidelines on AI, ask the lecturer beforehand whether and how AI use is allowed.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence and academic integrity<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Your work must be your own<\/strong>
    \nEvery assignment you submit must be written by you and based on your own ideas. You are responsible for its content.
    \nWriting is part of learning \u2013 it helps you develop critical thinking and personal understanding. If someone (or something) does the work for you, you miss out on that development.<\/li>\n
  2. How can AI support you?<\/strong>
    \nArtificial intelligence can help with planning, organising ideas, or editing texts.
    \nFor example, you may ask: \u201cHelp me structure an argument,\u201d \u201cSuggest sample sentences,\u201d or \u201cHow can I argue more effectively?\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. What should you keep in mind?<\/strong>
    \nRead the extended syllabus for course-specific guidelines. Lecturers may allow or prohibit AI use for particular assignments and graded activities. If you\u2019re not sure, always ask.
    \nIf AI use is prohibited, you must follow that rule \u2013 it\u2019s not just regulation, it supports your learning.<\/li>\n
  4. Be honest<\/strong>
    \nIf you used AI for support, indicate it in your work \u2013 for example, in the methodology section (\u201cI used AI to structure ideas\u201d).
    \nDo not present AI-generated text as your own. That is academic misconduct, even if the text seems \u201conly slightly\u201d modified.<\/li>\n
  5. Good habit: start by yourself<\/strong>
    \nWrite your own draft first \u2013 this helps clarify your thoughts.
    \nUse AI only later, for improving the work if needed: for example, to strengthen arguments or add perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
