The guidelines cover the publication of content (text, sound, image, video) that is generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in UiO's main digital channels; uio.no, the faculties and museum websites and UiO's social media.
Approved AI tools at UiO: Artificial intelligence and GPT
We should approach generative AI in the same way we do other sources and tools: critically, curiously and with caution. We are always responsible for publishing correct and up-to-date material, regardless of whether we have used AI in the making of the content or not. If we publish AI-generated material on our channels, it should be properly labeled

Text
We can
- use AI for tasks such as proofreading, translation, transcription, title suggestions, summarisation, idea generation, generating metadata, research, for brainstorming, as work support, etc.
- publish text generated by AI, but before publishing, the content must always be proofread and edited by a human, and all facts must be checked by a human.
We cannot
- publish unedited AI-generated text.
Unedited AI-generated content as a point in itself, for example in connection with research, can be published. The content must be clearly labelled.

Images and video
The rules and copyright around AI-generated images and videos are still unresolved. AI-generated images and videos also require a lot of energy. The technology should therefore be used with caution. AI-generated images and videos must explicitly labelled with the tool used and provide essential background information. The labelling should be clear enough to prevent reuse.
We can
- use AI to streamline workflow, for example, to remove noise from images and video, edit, adjust light and contrasts, etc.
- publish AI-generated illustrations, but be cautious and discuss the usage with a colleague, preferably a manager or editor for the channel.
We cannot
- publish images or video that could be mistaken for real photographs or videos.
- publish photographs that have been manipulated with AI.
AI-generated content as a point in itself, for example in connection with research, can be published. The content must be clearly labelled.
Audio
We can
- use AI tools to improve audio recordings or streamline workflow.
We cannot
- publish AI-generated audio.
AI-generated content as a point in itself, for example in connection with research, can be published. The content must be clearly labelled.
Labelling
Here you will find examples of how we should label AI-generated content.
Example of text labelling
- The text was generated by UiO GPT
- The text was generated by UiO GPT with keywords XYZ
Examples of labelling of images/illustrations
AI-generated images and videos must be explicitly labelled with the tool was used and provide essential background information.
