How can I acknowledge my use of AI in my assignment?
Answer
In addition to getting permission from your instructor before using AI tools for an assignment, it is important to acknowledge their use on a cover page. At a minimum, include the following in your acknowledgment:
- Each AI tool used
- A description of how you used each tool
- If relevant, the specific part of your assignment each tool was used for
According to Weaver (2024), descriptions may relate to such areas as conceptualization or idea development; interpretation or summarizing of sources; visualization of concepts; revising, editing, or proofreading; and language translation.
Your instructor may ask to see a record of your prompts and output, so be sure to save them. Title the chat with the course number and assignment name so you can easily find it.
Here is a sample acknowledgment template to include on a cover page:
Artificial Intelligence Disclosure: AI tools were used in the writing of this paper. ChatGPT was used to refine the framing of the research question and brainstorm keywords, and Grammarly was used to correct the grammar.
