Acknowledgement of AI use: recommended practices

Why acknowledge AI use

Acknowledgement and accountability are important parts of the evolving practices for responsible AI use. Humans need to be “in the loop” and able to explain why and how AI was used in work produced in collaboration with AI.

Acknowledging and explaining use of, and collaboration with, AI is an important aspect of responsible use in terms of:

• What AI system was used
  Which AI tool(s) assisted in producing the output
• How AI was used
  Which aspects/parts of the output did AI assist with, including how the AI contributions have been modified, expanded, incorporated, etc.
