Citing AI-Produced Content Responsibly
We are still learning how to ethically use and cite generative AI resources. As such, err on the side of transparency. Here are some general strategies:
- Link. Some generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, allow users to share a link to retrieve individual chats. For those tools, use the citation guidance below and include a link.
- Transcript. Save a transcript of your chat. Include it with your work as an appendix or as a supplemental material available online.
- Acknowledgement statement. Describe how you used the tool. This strategy can be convenient when you only use generative AI to plan your paper or generate ideas and don’t include any of its generated content.
