Guide for the Responsible Use of Generative AI in Research Tasks

This guide outlines the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in research, specifically for universities within the PROEDUCA educational group. It establishes guidelines that emphasize adherence to ethical principles during the production, editing, review, and dissemination of research outputs. Key points include the necessity of acknowledging the use of generative AI, ensuring data privacy, and maintaining authorship integrity. The document details specific applications of generative AI, such as in text editing, content production, and doctoral theses, highlighting that significant alterations must be documented and that generative AI cannot be credited as an author. It also discusses the limitations on using generative AI for competitive project proposals and the evaluation of scientific production. The guide aims to provide clarity on the integration of AI tools in research while ensuring compliance with ethical standards and institutional policies.
