Artificial intelligence (AI) AI-assisted learning

AI-assisted learning

With AI tools now widely available, many specialised and general-purpose solutions can support students throughout their university studies. However, remember that AI should not replace independent thinking or subject knowledge. Instead, use it as a tool to support specific aspects of the learning process.
Students have a professional responsibility to ensure that any information they share with an AI model does not contain copyrighted or confidential material. Some AI models may use or share information uploaded by users, so take care when deciding what information to provide.
Responsible use Limitations and activities to avoid
Lectures Use AI to clarify complex concepts, create flashcards, and support your understanding of course material. Do not rely on AI alone. Work through the material yourself first so you can better recognise inaccurate or incorrect answers later.
Written assignments

Ask for feedback on your own writing, including language, style, structure, and content.

AI can also support literature searching and help format bibliography entries in Springer Basic style.

Do not rely on AI alone for spelling and style.

When searching for literature, always consult and read the original source. AI may invent publications, provide inaccurate references, or misinterpret a paper’s content.
Data analysis

Ask for technical support with tools such as R or Excel.

AI can also help you review whether you have considered all relevant factors in your analysis.

Do not skip critical thinking. Always verify AI-generated answers step by step.

A response may sound convincing while still containing serious logical errors or misleading reasoning.
Preparing for exams and tests

AI can help you plan your study schedule over the days or weeks leading up to an exam, and can also help you revise that plan if circumstances change.

Using your notes and course materials, you can ask AI to generate practice questions and quizzes to support active learning.

AI may misjudge how much time you need to learn a topic, either underestimating or overestimating it. You know your learning habits best, so don’t follow its recommendations blindly.

Even with a carefully written prompt, AI can still produce incorrect answers. Always study the original course material, and use AI-generated resources only as supplementary learning aids.
