Transparency

• When you use AI, you should acknowledge the AI tool or service you used as well as the original sources of information. As with any typical citation style, language that is not your own (typically the use of four or more words in a row from a source you did not generate independently) must be enclosed in quotation marks. Reworked or paraphrased language should be signaled by a parenthetical citation. Both the APA and MLA style guides provide information on how to cite ChatGPT and other generative AI tools.

• If you use AI to generate content, you must show:

- The prompts you used to generate text

- The original generated text by ChatGPT or other such tools

- A description of the changes you made to the generated text through your annotations

- The factualness in the form of scientific references in APA or MLA format

• Include a summary in your bibliography or works cited page detailing how you used AI.

• When using AI provide a transcript of your entire interaction in an appendix.

• Pay close attention to whatever information you use in your own work that is produced from AI and explain how/what you used at the end of assignments. My recommendation is to screen shot and save everything (I.e., what prompts you used, what answers were produced, where, why, and how). Cite everything, otherwise you are likely violating academic integrity policies.

• When using AI on an assignment, add an appendix that shows:

- The entire exchange, highlighting the most relevant sections

- A description of precisely which AI tools were used (ChatGPT private or subscription, etc.)

- An explanation of how the AI tools were used, e.g., to generate ideas, turns of phrase, elements of text, long stretches of text, lines of argument, pieces of evidence, maps of conceptual territory, illustrations of key concepts, etc.

- An account of why AI tools were used, e.g., to save time, to surmount writer’s block, to stimulate thinking, to handle mounting stress, to clarify prose, to translate text, to experiment for fun, etc.

- If you are unsure about whether a particular use of AI is acceptable, just ask me.

• Sample GAI Disclosures:

   I did not use artificial intelligence in creating this paper.

Or

   I did use artificial intelligence in creating this paper, namely (ChatGPT, Bard, etc.). I used it in the following ways …

• If you used GAI, submit a reflection of at least 500 words detailing how it contributed to the assignment’s completion, describing both its strengths and limitations. The reflection should be specific – where you’ve shared authorship and where the ideas are your own. Additionally, the reflection must also address how you have gained insights about course materials and the writing process in general. I am looking for higher level analysis of your creative process, not a list of sentences and ideas generated for you.

• Cite AI Use: Treat the AI as you would any kind of source.

- Document Your Interaction: If you use AI, maintain a copy of the thread used (the input you provided and the output you received). This must be available upon request.

- Summarize AI Usage in Bibliography: Include a summary of how you used the AI. For example: “Used GPT-4 to help rephrase and condense background information on ….”

- In-Text Citation: For every paragraph where GAI was used in crafting or editing the content, include an intext-citation. For example: (GPT-4, 2024).
