AI Acknowledgement

University of Tasmania AI acknowledgement

Whether AI is allowed varies by unit and assessment. The UTAS Library says you don't need an in-text citation or reference for generative AI, but when submitting you will be asked to acknowledge how you used it, how much, and how it influenced your learning; a University College student module gives an 'acknowledgment of use statement' template.

Your prompts and the AI's answers
I acknowledge the use of ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com) to brainstorm ideas and check grammar and spelling. The prompts I used include [your prompts]. I rewrote anything I used in my own words. I checked the facts it gave me against the original sources.

University of Tasmania's own wording

"I acknowledge the use of [insert the name of the genAI tool and url] to [explain how you have used genAI]. The prompts I used include [list of your prompts]. The output from these prompts was used to [explain how the output from genAI was used in your own work]."

The rules at a glance

When you need one
When you use generative AI in an assessment where it is permitted; you will be asked to acknowledge it when submitting.
Where it goes
Acknowledgement is made when submitting the assessment (exact location not stated).
Prompts and outputs
The template asks you to list the prompts you used; the student module also suggests saving prompts in a separate document.
Referencing
Conflicting: the Library referencing guide says an in-text citation and reference are not required when using generative AI tools. The University College module says using information from a Gen AI response without an in-text citation and reference is plagiarism, that AI-generated images must be referenced, and that University College uses APA7 (the APA example is an image not captured).
Must include
  • how you used the AI
  • the extent of use
  • how it influenced your learning
  • name and URL of the genAI tool (template)
  • prompts used (template)
  • how the output was used in your own work (template)
Also note
  • check each course and assessment task (and the Course Coordinator) for whether AI is permitted
  • presenting AI content as your own original work is a breach of academic integrity
  • Microsoft Copilot (UTAS login) is the preferred/protected tool
  • AI information is not considered a reliable source; verify and cross-reference outputs
