AI Generated Content

Information

Note: This is interim advice only and subject to change.

• IEEE has stated Artificial Intelligence (AI) outputs, including products of chatbots, are not cited for publication purposes.

As the private communication may not provide recoverable data, the private communication may be cited in-text only.
If citing your private communication in-text only, provide the initials as well as the surname of the communicator, along with as exact date of communication as possible.

• Rather than citing Generative AI as a source of information, you would, instead, be citing the use of a tool - Generative AI.
