This page offers a selection of literature on the topic of good research practice (GRP) and artificial intelligence (AI). This bibliography focusses on topics relating to research practice and science as a whole, rather than teaching and exams. Many statements from universities that mainly deal with the latter are therefore not listed. As developments in the field of AI are very fluid, there currently exists a certain consensus on the use of AI I science and scholarship, but there are still some heterogeneous recommendations with regard to details.
The German research Ombudsman has created a FAQ on the topic of AI and RI. You can find an interactive version on out website as well as a downloadable PDF-version in German and English.
