Research Guides: Citing Your Sources: Citing Generative AI

AI and Your Course Assignments

Always confirm with your professor whether AI tools like ChatGPT are allowed for each assignment.
Always verify information and sources generated by AI tools.
- AI has been known to generate false information and to cite non-existent sources.
- AI-generated text mines people's intellectual property without crediting them, which raises ethical concerns.
You do need to credit ChatGPT and similar tools whenever you use the text that they generate in your own work.
Major style guides have begun to address generative AI tools. Please note that directions may evolve.
Make sure that you are following your instructor's guidelines regarding the use and attribution of AI tools .
