While Bavaria's schools are still searching for ways to combat AI cheating , universities in the state will soon be permitted to use artificial intelligence in exams. The cabinet in Munich decided to amend the Higher Education Innovation Act accordingly. "We are prohibiting the prohibition of artificial intelligence," emphasized Science Minister Markus Blume (CSU). The reform still needs to be approved by the state parliament.
AI has become an integral part of everyday life, the minister explained. "This is also true at universities." Therefore, it is important to establish rules for how AI should be used. "This means, in particular, that new examination formats are needed to keep pace with the times." Furthermore, according to Blume, it should be stipulated that "the development of artificial intelligence will naturally be a task for universities in the future." The goal is not to be dependent on others, but to "take the reins."

![Blume: AI is changing universities
Similar cases should not be possible in Bavaria in the future. Blume emphasized that AI will change university operations. "Teaching will take place differently in the future, research will be conducted differently, and so will examinations." He agreed with the universities that it would be the wrong approach not to include AI. "AI must be a technology that serves humanity."
Therefore, rules must be established to ensure "that the use of artificial intelligence is beneficial for all parties involved." To this end, the ministry established a joint working group with universities and students six months ago "to develop a roadmap and a concept together." Blume did not specify what new examination formats might look like.
