What is allowed, what is possible, and where are the risks? By participating, you will contribute to a concrete outcome: an AI persona that supports students during their writing process within set boundaries and maintaining the authenticity of their work.

Thesis persona at Medicine

Together with developpers of UvA AI Chat, experts from AI Literacy (TLC Central), and the developers of the existing thesis persona from the Medicine department, we’ll explore the limits, possibilities, and risks. We’re testing the robustness of UvA AI Chat (can you “hack” it?) and gathering input to improve the system. This is where it all happens. Your input goes directly to the development team and forms the basis for the further development of UvA AI Chat and AI literacy within the UvA.

The first meeting in a series of hackathons will take place on Wednesday 10 December 2025. What will you do:

• Work together on what you can and cannot do when writing a thesis;
• Test an AI persona that guides students in the writing process;
• Discuss everyone’s opinion of the AI ​​persona in small groups.

Why join?

• Lecturers gain insights into how students interact with the AI ​​persona.
• Students learn what they can and cannot do, allowing them to write their own product and simultaneously strengthen it through their own experiences. AI

Note: For the reasons mentioned above, this event would be even more valuable if groups of students and lecturers from different faculties registered, so that each faculty can gain its own insights. Do you have a group of students or colleagues who would like to participate? Invite them to this event and come together! And you’re just as welcome when you sign up by yourself.
