Scope and transition details
Chalmers Library guidance highlights that course examiners set rules for individual courses. Presenting AI text without citation is treated as plagiarism or ghostwriting. Uploading text intended for a thesis, dissertation, or publication to a chatbot risks copyright loss and data compromise.
You are required to assume full responsibility for your work and must be capable of justifying the choices you've made regarding its content. This includes engaging in discussions about and defending the role AI played in shaping your thesis, demonstrating a clear understanding of how it contributed.
For thesis work, Chalmers says AI tools may be permitted, but students are required to take full responsibility and make AI-tool use clear and transparent, including how and to what extent the tools were used.
Claiming that what someone else has written is your own text without referencing to it correctly is considered as plagiarism. In relation to AI, this can be interpreted as either plagiarism or ghostwriting, so you need to be fully transparent in your use of AI. Describe what you have done and cite correctly, including which AI tool you have used.
