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.
Citing AI-Generated Content [14.112]
First check with your tutor that you are allowed to use Gen-AI for a particular assignment. If you have express permission, then you need to credit the use of Gen-AI, making it clear how the tool has been used via a statement of acknowledgement, either in the text or in a preface and include the prompts you have used.
When Gen-AI generated content is quoted or paraphrased, it should be cited, either in text or in a footnote.
As the role of Gen-AI evolves, and new use cases emerge CMOS aims to keep users up to date with any interim advice being published at CMOS Shop Talk or via the Q&As.

Bibliography
Chatbot conversations are not usually included in a bibliography, but if you choose to include a bibliographic entry cite it under the name of the developer rather than the name of the tool and include a publicly available URL. Note that these 'share' URLs may only work for a limited period of time.
