The Use of Artificial Intelligence
Information
Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport views generative AI as an opportunity to modernize, develop, and enhance the effectiveness of teaching and research, and supports its responsible and critical use.
The following principles and recommendations serve as a basic framework for the use of generative AI at Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport with an emphasis on ethics, data protection, and personal responsibility for the final outcome of the work.
General Principles
Transparency: The scope and parameters of artificial intelligence use should always be clearly and transparently stated in all types of work and activities, provided that it affects the conceptual and creative aspects. Unacknowledged use that replaces one’s own creative work may be considered a disciplinary offense and may result in the thesis not being approved, failure of an exam, or failure to meet course requirements.
Consultation: In cases where the appropriateness of using generative AI is unclear, it is always recommended to consult with the thesis advisor or instructor.
Responsibility: The student (author) is always responsible for any errors arising in connection with the use of AI.
Ethics: The use of generative AI is not permitted during tests and exams (or other academic assessments) unless specified in the instructions or assignment. Transparency must be maintained; see the first point.
Legality: Generative AI tools must be used in accordance with the applicable laws of the Czech Republic and the regulations of Charles University and the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University.
GDPR: When working with generative AI tools, it is essential to avoid entering personal, sensitive, private, or copyrighted data unless the platform in question provides adequate legal protection. Given that most commonly available tools do not provide such guarantees, the selection of specific technologies must be approached with the utmost caution.
Theses: As of April 1, 2026, all theses must include a statement regarding the use of generative AI, even if generative AI was not used.
