The didactic portfolio of teaching formats, seminar papers, and examinations in humanities and social sciences was first established in the 1950s. The ability to compose written work played an important role in this. Writing a long thesis is also intended to demonstrate proficiency in scientific work in the engineering sciences. Now, however, the situation is arising where chatbots such as ChatGPT can write texts whose origin can no longer be traced and whose sources cannot be cited. Self-learning machines as learning coach and ghostwriter are consequently upsetting traditional structures. But how should we deal with this?

Following a short input lecture by Dr. Thilo Hagendorff, we will be discussing this topic with Jun.-Prof. Dr. Amrei Bahr, Prof. Dr. Steffen Becker, Prof. Dr. Katharina Hölzle and representatives of the student body. Moderation: Dr. Simone Rehm

Organized by the IZKT and IRIS at the University of Stuttgart and supported by the Vice Rector for Information Technology Dr. Simone Rehm.

The University of Stuttgart invites students and employees to attend a discourse about the importance of chatbots in science. All background information, events, and news are summarized on our website ChatGPT at the University of Stuttgart
