Disclosing AI Use

Students should maintain appropriate transparency and disclose when AI applications were used to create allowable assignment content. Students who use AI to brainstorm assignment ideas or edit written material do not need to disclose AI applications. AI use must be disclosed in the following circumstances:

• When AI Research Assistants or other AI applications are used to conduct a literature review or find publications for use within a DMSc assignment.
• When AI applications were used to create images, slide shows, or other allowable content for use within a DMSc assignment.

How AI applications are credited depends on how students deployed them. In general, students should err on the side of over-disclosure. When required, students should include a description of the content that was created (i.e., literature searches, images, slide shows, etc.), the name of the AI application along with the version and its manufacturer. Specific circumstances are as follows:

• AI applications used to augment literature reviews should be disclosed within the appropriate section of the written assignment. For example, if the assignment includes a methods section, students should include the name of the AI application, version, and manufacturer and an example of the research prompt used. If disclosure requirements for literature reviews are unclear, consult with the associated faculty member for clarification.
• The name, version, and manufacturer of AI applications used to create images should be credited within the footnote of the image.
• AI applications used to create slide shows should be credited on the reference page of the slide show. The name of the AI application, version, and manufacturer should be AMA-formatted as a reference and should appear as the last entry on the reference list (see Section 3.14.3 of the AMA Manual of Style for appropriate reference entries for apps).
