Excerpt from the principles of using AI in the preparation of written assignments

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative work enables increased efficiency, including finding solutions to complex problems and performing operational tasks. The the principles of using artificial intelligence in the preparation of written assignments at SGH are intended to ensure the proper application of this technology. The most important provisions are listed below.

Allowed

  • Ideation – brainstorming, identifying research trends, gaps, and questions.
  • Acquisition of knowledge and literature review – asking questions to understand the research area, searching for literature, generating keywords, summarizing texts to aid understanding.
  • Handling the body of a text – proofreading and editing, formatting the bibliography.
  • Creation of graphics – generating graphics based on the author’s drawings; creating diagrams, charts, figures, infographics according to detailed guidelines formulated by the author
  • Programming – using GitHub Copilot or similar services, translating code, and generating code based on an algorithm description.
  • Data analysis – data retrieval and data mining, performing calculations, code generation for data analysis, generating model code from data
  • Economic and mathematical modelling – generating symbolic models based on descriptions, generating LaTeX code for mathematical equations from handwritten text, simplifying mathematical equations and formulas.
  • Artificial intelligence as a research subject – the creation of content for the purpose of their analysis; the content should be clearly marked with the mention of the service with which it was created.

Prohibited  

  • Automatic generation of the concept of a written assignment or its essential elements.
  • Text generation, i.e., creating paragraphs, chapters, or an entire paper (including a first draft), as well as expanding one’s own content using AI.
  • AI-generated descriptions of calculation results, their interpretations, and conclusions.
  • Creating graphics resembling photographs or illustrations.
  • Citing AI as a source of information.

Required

  • Exercising caution and critical judgment - information generated by AI may be inaccurate or imprecise. AI cannot replace independent thinking, a creative approach, or a thorough understanding of the logic behind the actions taken.
  • Including a section specifying the method and scope of AI use.
  • Reporting on AI usage for AI-generated outputs (e.g., below the chart).
  • Collecting the prompts and responses used (does not apply to: ideation and text operations)
     

Final remarks

All substantive content included in the written work, including both the author’s own formulations and content cited from other authors, should be the result of the author’s in-depth reflection.

Full responsibility for the content of the written work rests with the author.

The advisor, course instructor, program councils of the degree programs, deans of the Bachelor’s Program, Master’s Program, and Doctoral School at Warsaw School of Economics, as well as directors of postgraduate programs, have the right to further restrict the possible scope of artificial intelligence use in any manner they choose.
