Australian Catholic University's own wording
"I acknowledge the use of [insert AI system(s) with link] to [how the AI was used]. The prompts used include [list of prompts]."
Quoted from Australian Catholic University's guidance. The generator below fills this format in for you.
The rules at a glance
- When you need one
- Whenever AI is used in an assessment, including when it only helped develop ideas and no AI-generated text appears in the final work.
- Where it goes
- In the bibliography: as a footnote or at the end of the reference list (confirm with the course coordinator).
- Prompts and outputs
- Prompts used must be listed in the acknowledgement itself.
- Referencing
- The ACU Library Referencing Guide gives style-specific advice on referencing AI tools; no example reference format is given in these pages.
- Must include
- name of the AI tool with a link
- how the tool was used / how the information was generated
- prompts used
- date accessed
- Also note
- Use AI only if explicitly permitted for the assessment; if not clearly authorised, do not use it
- Unauthorised or undisclosed AI use is academic misconduct (Student Academic Integrity and Misconduct Policy 8.1.c)
- AI output must be critically evaluated and must not replace your own intellectual contribution
