Bond University AI acknowledgement

Bond encourages responsible AI use where the assessment's AI category allows it, and every use of generative AI must be declared, stating when and how it was used, following the Library's advice and the Six-Step Gen-AI Statement Template.

Your prompts and the AI's answers
I used ChatGPT (OpenAI, https://chatgpt.com) on [date] to brainstorm ideas and check grammar and spelling. I rewrote anything I used in my own words. I checked the facts it gave me against the original sources. A full record of my prompts and the outputs is available on request.

Bond University's own wording

Bond points students to a 'Six-Step Gen-AI Statement Template', but the template wording is not reproduced in the source.

Summarised from Bond University's guidance.

The rules at a glance

When you need one
Every time a generative AI tool is used, in assessments and other work (students and staff).
Framework
Bond University AI Assessment Framework: Category 1 AI-Prohibited (AI-P), Category 2 AI-Supported (AI-S), Category 3 AI-Focussed (AI-F)
Where it goes
Not fixed; AI-Supported task sheets include declarations of use, and a Statement of Authorship must be submitted with every assessable piece of work.
Referencing
Cite and reference AI output following the Bond Library Gen-AI Referencing FAQ and its style guides (updated each semester). The page itself uses an in-text personal-communication style, e.g. (CoPilot, personal communication, 21 March 2025).
Must include
  • when AI was used
  • how AI was used
Also note
  • Use AI only where the educator and the assessment's AI category allow it; AI-Prohibited assessments ban all AI tools
  • Do not use AI to translate your work into English (single words or phrases as a dictionary are OK)
  • Do not copy and paste AI output into an assessment; using AI as a replacement for your work is misconduct
  • Do not upload class materials, library resources, client or personal information to AI tools
  • DeepSeek is prohibited; no university content may be shared into non-preferred tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
  • The University is updating AI-powered plagiarism detection tools to identify inappropriate use
