The Rectorate College of Charles University welcomes the use of modern technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, but emphasizes the need to set guidelines for their use.

• AI technologies can be useful for students, educators, and researchers, offering a competitive advantage and increasing work productivity.

• The use of AI tools should complement, not replace, one’s own thinking and work.

• The use of AI tools will require significant innovation in teaching methods and testing.

• If AI tools are used responsibly and in accordance with ethical principles, they can significantly contribute to improving the quality of education and research.

• The use of AI tools must be transparent and in accordance with the instructor/supervisor's guidelines.

• AI tools must be used with consideration for academic integrity and honesty.

• The risks associated with using AI primarily include the uncritical acceptance of generated content without verification, dependency on AI technologies, plagiarism, and AI errors in the form of false results.

• Adopting AI-generated results in their literal or slightly modified form and presenting them as one's own work is considered plagiarism.
