GUIDELINES FOR USING GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS:

The use of generative artificial intelligence tools is strictly prohibited in the preparation of any written coursework, including essays, presentations, and papers.

With the prior consent of the lecturer, students may use AI tools to proofread their own text or to translate a text that is consulted or cited in the work (but not text that constitutes the core subject of the work or whose translation is part of the assignment's objectives). The lecturer may require the student to present the original text and its interpretation (either orally during class or during an individual seminar). Students are held responsible for any errors (both linguistic and factual, especially so-called AI hallucinations) resulting from the use of AI tools, as well as for any violations of ethical principles (copyright infringement, perpetuating harmful stereotypes, using discriminatory language, etc.). Students cannot excuse such errors by citing the imperfections of the tools used.

The process of gathering literature must be the result of the students' own intellectual activity and based on independent research (in libraries, archives, or digital repositories). The use of artificial intelligence algorithms is permitted solely for technical purposes, i.e., for organizing and formatting footnotes and compiling the bibliography in accordance with the adopted citation style. Full responsibility for the final outcome of any work that utilizes artificial intelligence tools rests with the students. The use of AI tools does not exempt students from liability for factual errors and does not constitute grounds for more lenient grading.

The work of course participants must be the product of their own intellectual activity, based on the analysis of sources and literature retrieved from libraries, archives, and digital databases.

Students bear full responsibility for the content of their work. Including fabricated facts or false bibliographic citations will result in an automatic failure of the course (a failing grade) and disciplinary action, regardless of the text preparation method declared by the student.
