Embracing AI with Integrity

Written by Josephine Woodhams for UKRIO, this guide walks a researcher through declaring AI assistance in writing, code, images and figures, and is explicit that copyrighted, personal or sensitive data must never be uploaded to a tool without permission or consent, including material seen during peer review. It will help you decide case by case whether a particular use needs disclosing and where that disclosure belongs, whether in the methods, the acknowledgements, or a separate statement. The examples drawn from several UK universities also show a research office what a workable institutional position looks like before it writes its own.
