Tim-Dorian Knöchel
I am a PhD student focused on Social and Moral Psychology, with a passion for open and cutting edge research practices. My research focuses on the strategic use of AI, especially in moral decision-making.
I completed a BSc in Psychology and a Research MSc in Behavioural Science at Radboud University in the Netherlands. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a research assistant at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. In wider terms, my research interests include morality, trust, fairness, and responsible research practices, particularly in relation to novel digital technology.

Session
As Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) rapidly reshapes research practices, responsible use requires core principles that remain stable despite technological change. This lightning talk presents an eight-principle framework to guide the responsible use of GenAI in research. The framework was defined through an anonymised three-round Delphi consensus procedure with a panel of 16 international and multidisciplinary experts in AI, social sciences, law, ethics, and scientific publishing. The eight sequential principles are: Regulations, Data Security, Quality Control, Originality, Bias Mitigation, Accountability, Transparency, and Broader Impact. Along with this framework, the talk introduces a Shiny app-based checklist that helps researchers apply these principles in practice and generate a report that can be linked in a preregistration, preprint, or article.
