Why we're telling you this

This isn't just a regulatory obligation — anyone working within a research and educational institution has the right to know what tool they are working with. Transparency about what Lucrez-IA is, how it works and where it can go wrong is not a legal-protection disclaimer: it is an act of respect for your professional expertise.

How to use it well

Lucrez-IA can make mistakes. We say this plainly because, in a university setting, this is not a bureaucratic warning: it is a methodological principle. Checking the answers of an automated tool before using them is exactly the same thing you would do with any other source. Your critical judgment does not switch off when you use an AI system: it applies with even greater rigor.
