Citing AI
We are still learning how to ethically use and cite AI resources. As such, err on the side of transparency. Here are some general strategies:
Link. Some AI tools, such as ChatGPT, allow users to share a link to retrieve individual chats. For those tools, use the citation guidance below and include a link.
Transcript. Save a transcript of your chat. Include it with your work as an appendix or as a supplemental material available online.
Acknowledgement statement. Describe how you used the tool. This strategy can be convenient when you only use AI to plan your paper or generate ideas and don’t include any of its generated content.
AI for Teaching and Learning: Disclose and Explain
Disclose and explain how you use AI to support your teaching, whether that be for assignment design or lesson planning, for example. Setting an example of disclosing and explaining impactful AI use would be extremely educational for students, modeling professional behavior and ethics around AI use for them.
