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.
At present, there are no formal guidelines for referencing Gen-AI tools using the Chicago Referencing style. The interim guidelines below have been taken from a CMOS17 FAQ:
You need to credit ChatGPT and similar tools whenever you use the text that they generate in your own work. But for most types of writing, you can simply acknowledge the AI tool in your text (e.g., “The following recipe for pizza dough was generated by ChatGPT”) or in a note. If you’ve edited the AI-generated text, you should say so in the text or at the end of the note (e.g., “edited for style and content”).
First Footnote
1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.
Note: ChatGPT stands in as “author” of the content, and OpenAI (the company that developed ChatGPT) is the publisher, followed by the date the text was generated.
If the prompt hasn’t been included in the text, it should be included in the note:
1. ChatGPT, response to “Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients,” OpenAI, March 7, 2023.
Subsequent Footnotes
OpenAI, ChatGPT
URLs
You may add a URL to a footnote to tell the reader where the Gen-AI tool may be found, but because readers can’t necessarily get to the cited content, that URL isn’t an essential element of the citation.
1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.
Appendix
If the full response has not been included in-text then include an appendix containing the full transcript of any prompts and AI-generated responses.
