University of Graz launches studiGPT to aid students under strict AI rules
The University of Graz has introduced studiGPT, a new AI chatbot for its 30,000 students. The tool aims to support study-related tasks while maintaining strict academic integrity rules. studiGPT runs on the university’s Microsoft Cloud and uses AI models from providers like OpenAI and Mistral. Unlike public AI tools, it does not use student input to train its systems, and all data stays within the EU.
Instructors set their own rules on AI use in courses. Some allow it for specific tasks, while others ban it completely. Students must follow these guidelines or risk penalties.
The chatbot helps with drafting study plans, refining texts, and other academic work. However, submitting fully AI-generated assignments without permission counts as plagiarism. Students must also declare any AI assistance when submitting a thesis, detailing how the software was used. The university expects students to use studiGPT responsibly and transparently. Failure to follow the rules could result in failing grades or other academic consequences. The system remains optional, with each instructor deciding its role in their courses.
