Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Bergen
Main content
The table below shows how AI can be used in different ways (A–H) in teaching and assessment. It is the responsibility of the lecturer/course coordinator/supervisor/department who decides which AI use is permitted, and this must be communicated for each individual course. For example, all levels of AI use may be allowed in a master’s thesis. On this webpage, you will find guidance on how to indicate that AI has been used. You should describe how AI was used at the beginning of the assignment/project so that it is clear to the reader/examiner.
| Use of AI | Examples of use | ||
| A | Use of AI for brainstorming and starting work where text is not directly reproduced. | Suggestions for outline Inspiration for topics and choice of problem. Help to learn academic terms and short phrases (typically a few words) | |
| B | AI as support for language editing and improvement of your own text. | AI to help simplify, improve, or translate self-produced text. This includes rephrasing and structural changes that are more extensive than mere proofreading. | |
| C | AI as support for visual representations that are not part of your own results. | Help to create figures that illustrate a point or a method. Table or text box that explains or summarizes a topic. | |
| D | AI as support for presenting academic content based on your own data/results/analyses. | Help to create figures, graphs, images, and tables. | |
| E | AI as support for programming. | AI to generate code for analysis, to create figures, and to debug codes. Produce codes/programs in languages such as R, Python, etc. | |
| F | AI as support for interpreting and discussing academic content. | AI as support to analyze text, data, a figure, an image, etc. | |
| G | AI as support for generating text. | Use of AI to create text with new meaningful content, arguments, and perspectives, which cannot be considered part of regular language editing. | |
| H | No use of AI | AI has not been used in any part of the submission, including the initial phases as specified in point A. |
