The SNSF’s approach to the use of artificial intelligence in funding applications Regarding the use of AI applications by grant applicants, the SNSF reminds researchers of their personal responsibility.

Thinking of using AI to draft or review a project proposal? If so, make sure you understand the responsibilities that come with them.

For example, according to the SNSF, you should never upload grant proposals or assessments to ChatGPT, as this breaks confidentiality: www.snf.ch/en/Gz1VrJlkL...
