Confirm with your course coordinator or check your course profile before using Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in your assessment. Some assessment pieces do not permit the use of AI tools, while others may allow AI with some limitations. If you use AI in your assessment without permission or appropriate acknowledgment it may be considered Academic Misconduct.
Any permitted use of generative AI for assessment must be acknowledged appropriately. Your course coordinator will provide guidance on how to reference the use of AI tools. Some examples include:
AI models sometimes produce incorrect, biased or outdated information. Verify the accuracy of AI-generated content using reliable sources before including it in your work.
Additionally, there may be legal or ethical issues to consider when using AI. Works created by non-humans are not eligible for copyright protection under Australian law. If you intend to publish work incorporating AI-generated content, check the publisher guidelines about what is allowed.
When interacting with AI models, you should be cautious about supplying sensitive information, including personal, confidential or propriety information or data.

Where an assignment requires the use of generative AI tools to be cited, you must reference all the content from Generative AI tools that you include. Failure to reference externally sourced, non-original work can result in Academic misconduct.
References should provide clear and accurate information for each source and should identify where they have been used in your work.
Content from generative AI is a nonrecoverable source as it can't be retrieved or linked.
The text of your document must include:

It is recommended that you use an assignment coversheet to acknowledge your use of generative AI tools.
You should include the following information when acknowledging the use of generative AI tools:
Machine Translation for assignments provides more detailed guidance for acknowledging the use of translation tools.
This coversheet is an example of good practice in acknowledging the use of AI tools. Courses across UQ may have specific guidance you should follow on how to acknowledge the use of AI.
