Usage of AI

Guidelines for the Use of AI-Based Systems

The basis for the use of AI-based systems at the University of Bremen are the guidelines adopted by the University Executive Board on June 30, 2026. It applies to all members of the university and provides the framework for the subsequent manuals, checklists, and recommendations. These guidelines are aligned with the core values of the university and defines the associated obligations.

Data protection compliant tools: Die Academic Cloud

The University of Bremen provides access to various generative AI models in compliance with data protection regulations via the Academic Cloud of the GWDG (Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH), a joint institution of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. The use of these services is voluntary. Access is granted using the login details of the university account. Interaction with the AI models takes place via the ChatAI web interface.

The Guidelines and Checklist approved by the Rectorate contain important information and guidelines for use of the AI services. They form the prerequisite for permitted use.

AI skills

To acquire basic skills in artificial intelligence, we recommend the course KI-Kompetenzen in der Hochschulverwaltung (AI Skills in Higher Education Administration) from KI-Campus. This course is suitable for all target groups and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Upon completion of the course, participants can also obtain a certificate.

If you use AI-based systems in your organisational unit or plan to use them, the development of appropriate skills is required by law (EU AI Act).
