How should I cite AI-generated content, like ChatGPT?

You might be considering using GenAI or AI-generated content, like ChatGPT, Dall-E, or Microsoft Copilot in your assignments. 


Answer

Before using AI-generated content:

  • Check with your instructor to ensure that these tools are allowed for the assignment to avoid academic integrity issues.
  • Verify the AI-generated information carefully as it can be inaccurate, biased or simply made up (also known as "hallucinated")
  • Consider the ethical implications, since AI tools may reuse copyrighted work without proper attribution.
  • For research purposes, consult with ethics boards to confirm any guidelines on AI use.

Depending on the style that you're using, each one will have its own recommendations for citing AI output. View our guide here for more detail.
