A distinguishing feature of IKRS is its approach to artificial intelligence. Rather than relying on general-purpose, opaque, or subscription-based systems, the Institute designs, adapts, and governs custom AI systems aligned with its specific research, educational, and analytical objectives.
Artificial intelligence at IKRS is treated as methodological infrastructure, not as a product or ideology. Systems are developed to support defined tasks—such as structuring complex sources, assisting comparative analysis, or supporting educational workflows—while remaining embedded within human-led research processes.
This approach allows the Institute to:
- retain intellectual and methodological control over AI-assisted work
- ensure transparency, interpretability, and documentation of processes
- reduce dependency on proprietary black-box solutions
- align technological design with ethical and scholarly standards
All AI-supported activities remain subject to continuous human oversight and critical evaluation.
