What to write if you didn't use AI
Write one plain sentence saying you didn't use any AI tools. Some universities ask for this whenever AI was allowed on the task, even if you chose not to use it. Use your university's wording if it has one.

If your university has no wording

What counts as "using AI" varies. The University of Sydney, for one, says basic spelling and grammar correction doesn't need a statement. If you used anything that rewrote or generated text, it's safer to write a short acknowledgement instead.
