AI Guidelines for Code-generation, improvement and testing

Safe Use of AI in the Software Development Process

This guideline is specifically intended for software developers and governs the responsible use of artificial intelligence in the creation, optimization, and review of source code within the company. It applies exclusively to activities in the context of software development and establishes clear boundaries for permissible use cases – from code generation to debugging and testing.

By setting binding requirements for tool selection, data protection, and internal quality controls (e.g., the four-eyes principle), the guideline ensures that AI systems are used only where they are legally permissible, technically secured, and subject to human oversight.

This document supports developers in identifying potential risks early and helps ensure that the use of AI in the development process is transparent, safe, and compliant.
