Using images, tables & other visual material in your work: AI & figures

This guide explains how to declare AI-generated or AI-adapted figures in academic work, including where to place declarations in captions and how to cite both the AI and original sources. It covers original figures, adapted figures, and unusual assignments, and links to broader university guidance on AI use statements. Readers will learn how to format AI declarations in square brackets, when to include rights attributions, and how to handle figures that combine AI generation with existing sources.
