These recommendations are current as at July 2024. We may update or supplement these guidelines over time as tools evolve and practice recommendations for the use of Gen-AI develop.
Statement of acknowledgement of Gen-AI use
You must confirm whether the use of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) has been explicitly allowed or required in your assessment task and how you may use it. Using Gen-AI to complete your assessment without explicit authorisation is a breach of academic integrity under University policy.
When using Gen-AI in assessments, a statement of acknowledgement is required. Your course coordinator will provide guidance on how to acknowledge your use of Gen-AI in your assessment.
In your acknowledgement you should provide:
A written statement acknowledging the use of Gen-AI
Specify what Gen-AI tools and technology were used
Include a list of prompts used
Explain how the outputs were used in your work
For example:
I acknowledge the use of [insert name of AI tool] to [insert description of usage]. The prompts used were [insert list of prompts]. The outputs generated from these prompts were used to XXX.
In addition to your statement of acknowledgment you should also adhere to the relevant referencing guidelines for advice on how to cite the use of Gen-AI in your in-text references and bibliography.
General rules
