Description

Learn how to use AI responsibly and effectively in your studies.

Summary

This guidance outlines Institutional protocols for University of Queensland students regarding the ethical acknowledgment and technical referencing of generative AI in academic work. The content focuses on academic integrity and transparency through standardized citation formats like APA rather than managing catastrophic or existential risks. While it addresses the responsible use of AI tools within an Australian educational context, its scope is limited to pedagogical compliance and does not engage with frontier AI safety or global governance frameworks.

Body

It could be a: statement e.g. "ChatGPT was used for suggestions, brainstorming and editing within this work." coversheet form or template table. Referencing is where you follow a specific referencing style e.g. APA and include your AI use as in-text references or footnotes and in a reference list in your work. You might be required to use one or both methods in your assessment. Watch Acknowledging and referencing AI (YouTube, 2m 39s).
