Bachelor Thesis UC3M: Generative AI

 USE OF GENERATIVE AI TOOLS

• The use of these tools will be conditional upon compliance with the indications and limitations of each subject, i.e. they must not be used in subjects where their use is expressly prohibited. In the TFG subject (Bachelor Thesis) , their use is permitted under the conditions established on the degree's website and in this guide.
• Work honestly and responsibly, declaring the use you have made of Generative AI in your project. To do so, you must fill in the template ‘Declaration of use of Generative AI’ and include this document in your project as an Annex (*).
• These tools have limits and may provide false, incorrect or inaccurate content. Be sure to verify this information as you will be responsible for the content when including it in your project.
• Be aware that their use may jeopardise privacy or the protection of personal and confidential data.
• Use the tools to enhance your critical thinking, not to replace it.
• Remember that AI is just another tool and that what is valued is the content of your dissertation or project (TFG or Bachelor Thesis), your knowledge and the way in which you are able to present and defend it.
• Don't forget to consult the guidelines and recommendations on writing dissertations (TFG) and their regulations.

 NON-ACCEPTED USES OF GENERATIVE AI

• Structuring of content or organisation of information: you should demonstrate a sufficient level to be able to construct your own work.
• Copywriting: at this point in your education, this is a skill that you should be able to demonstrate reliably. However, you should state whether you have used Generative AI to refine your writing after you have created it.
• In the specific contents, keep in mind that your assessment will focus on acquired skills and competences that are specific to your degree, so if you try to supplement them with these tools you will probably not pass the minimum grade. You must be able to demonstrate them in your work. For that reason, you should declare any interaction with AI that could affect this point to clear doubts. For example, a computer engineer is supposed to be able to develop a complex program from scratch, and can rely on Generative AI to improve their programs by debugging code, but not start from scratch with Generative AI.
