Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create text, images, or other content. ChatGPT is a generative AI tool, but there are many others. You must have the permission of your instructor before using AI tools like ChatGPT in your course work. Even if your instructor permits the use of AI tools, you cannot claim AI generated content as your own original work. You must always acknowledge the use of AI and appropriately reference it in your work.

Graduate students who are planning to publish their work should consider style rules dictated by the specific academic journal they plan to submit to. Many journals have in-house styles; this information can typically be found on the journal's website under a heading titled "Publishing - Information for Authors" or something similar. Many publishers have issued statements or guidelines on the use of generative AI tools. Before using AI tools in your work, be sure to consult the AI policy or guidelines for the journal you intend to publish with.
