Generative artificial intelligence

It is important that you first check the requirements for your assessment and that you understand exactly what you are, and are not, allowed to use generative AI to do. Your assessment instructions should include this information, but you should check with your tutor if you are unsure.

If you have used generative AI to assist you in creating your work, you should include an acknowledgement of this use, including the details of which AI tool you used, and how you used it (eg for idea generation, summarising notes, generating an image, etc). Find out how to word this acknowledgement.

If you are including the output from a generative AI tool in your work, you should cite and reference it. If you directly copy and paste words from the AI output, you must put these in quotation marks to show they are a direct quote.

Some generative AI tools provide a shareable link to the conversation or output. If this is available, you should include it.
