AI Generated Content

Information

  Any content generated by artificial intelligence (AI), including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code, must be cited and referenced. This includes naming the AI system used and identifying the specific sections of your writing that use AI-generated content, with a brief explanation of how the AI system was used to generate the content.

  Acknowledgement of the use of AI for editing and grammar is recommended. Please check your unit outline or with your supervisor to confirm whether this is a requirement for your work.

  Generative AI can be cited as a software tool.

  It is recommended that prompts submitted to generate content be included in an Appendix to your paper or presentation.
