The UJI incorporates the use of artificial intelligence in the update of its Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies
Universitat Jaume IThe Universitat Jaume I de Castelló (UJI) has published the second version of its Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies (CBPID), a key tool in its commitment to responsible, high-quality research. With this update, one of the first carried out by a Spanish university, the UJI adapts its ethical framework to new challenges and needs that have arisen in recent years.
The new version of the code (the previous one was from 2022) expands and reinforces fundamental content with the addition of two new sections dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in research and the institutional affiliation of research staff. The section on open science has also been expanded and relevant aspects surrounding the definition of conflicts of interest and the functioning of the UJI's Ethics and Integrity System have been updated.
