Citations for AI

If your professor allows the use of AI, how do you cite it?

  • Citations are always necessary in academic work, even when the information has been provided to you by AI. 
  • If AI cannot give you an accurate, verifiable citation for the information, it may not be used.
  • Current AI is also capable of providing false citations and inaccurate information. Such errors in your work will be attributed to you during the grading process, not the AI.

Exactly how to cite AI is still being discussed, but for now refer to the citation rules listed at the site below.
