These slides were presented during the SaxFDM Digital Kitchen and offer a concise overview of the most pressing legal issues relating to the use of AI in academic research. Main aim is to identify key legal risks and practical challenges for researchers, as well as drawing the framework, where researchers can actually benefit the technology as a tool in a legally compliant manner. The slides try to provide a guidance and answers the following questions: When can research data, including copyrighted works and personal data, be processed with AI tools? What requirements arise under copyright law and the GDPR? And last but not least, how can researchers use AI tools and AI generated outputs in legally compliant and academically responsible way?
