Ecosystem

Structures and Units

At BAU, AI is supported by an ecosystem of academic and administrative units working together. These units match tools to the right needs and ensure safe use, training and governance all at once.

Introduction

Why do the units work together?

Different units work together so that AI tools can be used for the right purpose, within a safe framework, and in line with the principles of academic integrity, data security, KVKK and human oversight. The aim is to present AI not as a single tool, but as an institutionally supported, human-centered field of competence.
