Current recommendations Dealing with Risks in International Research Cooperation

(29.09.23) The potential risks involved in international research cooperation projects funded by the DFG shall henceforth be subjected to a more thorough and systematic reflection. To this end, the DFG has put forward recommendations that have recently been approved by its Joint Committee. While primarily aimed at individual and institutional applicants, the recommendations can also be drawn on in the DFG’s review and decision-making process. Interner Linkmore

AI AND CHATGPT IN SCIENCE AND THE HUMANITIES Guidelines for Dealing with Generative Models for Text and Image Creation

(21.09.23) The DFG Executive Committee has formulated initial guidelines for dealing with generative models for text and image creation. According to a statement, usage of such models in the work process in science and the humanities should not be ruled out because of their opportunities and development potential, but must be transparently disclosed in the spirit of good research practice. It should be possible to use generative models in funding proposals, but not in reviews in order to protect confidentiality. Interner Linkmore
