Future Campus about GAIDeT: “this is something that universities can integrate today”

BSPU Vice-Rector for Research Yana Sychikova Explains to Future Campus Why Research Integrity Needs the GAIDeT Taxonomy.

In her column “Research integrity demands an AI taxonomy”, published on September 1, 2025 in Future Campus, BSPU Vice-Rector for Research Yana Sychikova emphasized: universities around the world are rushing to adopt policies on the use of artificial intelligence, yet most leave students and faculty in uncertainty.

The solution, according to Sychikova, is offered by the GAIDeT (Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy). It is based on a simple principle: clearly specify which tool and version were used, which tasks were delegated to AI, and who is responsible for the final result. This takes just a few lines, removes stigma, and turns policy into practice.

“GAIDeT allows us to explain honestly what exactly AI did in research, while stressing that responsibility always remains with the human researcher. It is not about control or a ‘witch hunt,’ but about restoring trust in science,” — notes the BSPU Vice-Rector.

Why universities benefit the most

“AI is already among us — in texts, classrooms, browser tabs, and even Google Docs. The problem is not the technology itself, but the chaos and distrust surrounding its use. GAIDeT provides clarity and makes transparency a routine practice. This is something universities can integrate today.”

The GAIDeT taxonomy was published in the leading international journal Accountability in Research (2025) and is already being actively discussed within the global academic community. This initiative goes far beyond Ukraine and is gaining popularity among universities, editors, and researchers worldwide.

Future Campus positions itself as “a platform that facilitates the transfer of academic knowledge, supports institutions in adapting to next-generation technologies, and fosters innovative research and development processes.” The authors combine research with industry needs, such as the narrative of the GAIDeT taxonomy.

Society and the scientific community require such regulations, as ultimately, both the reputation of research will be preserved, and scientists will have a clear action plan.
