Not citing or acknowledging the use of GenAI could be considered plagiarism (i.e. a form of research misconduct ), especially if GenAI was used to generate ideas or for literature reviews.

Use AI tools to support tasks such as brainstorming, outlining, or checking grammar, but ensure you disclose their use in your submissions. Always refer to your module's AI use policy and seek guidance from your instructor regarding specific expectations for acceptable AI usage in your courses.

When using AI for assignments (e.g., grammar checks, copyediting, or idea generation), adhere to the specific guidelines set by your instructor, as expectations may vary by module and discipline. This may include documenting your AI use, completing a “ Declaration on GAI Use ,” or disclosing AI contributions where required. To uphold academic integrity, you must always provide proper citations for all sources used, including AI‑generated content.

For some course assignments, instructors may require you to document your AI use. This supports transparency in your learning process and clarifies how AI was used at different stages of your work. Such records may be submitted as an appendix. To support this, NTU Library provides a ready‑to‑use template that outlines what to document. This template may be used or adapted when record‑keeping is required or recommended, while following your instructor’s preferred format and level of detail.

NTU’s policy is that in general, students are allowed to use Gen AI in their assignments. Many Schools across STEM and non-STEM disciplines, in medicine, and at NIE, are already using AI as part of learning. Students are expected to declare any use of AI, and how they are being used. When using AI, students are ultimately responsible for the content generated. They must ensure factual accuracy and cite all sources properly. Some professors may prohibit Gen AI for certain assignments for specific pedagogical reasons. In such cases, the reason for disallowing it is clearly communicated to students.

Any confidential or sensitive information, and/or personal data must not be uploaded to any external GenAI software, system, or platform unless: The activity does not contravene any applicable laws, regulations, or institutional policies; Access to the GenAI is controlled and restricted to only authorised study members involved in the research; The data is not retained in or by the GenAI; and Where applicable, written permission has been explicitly provided by the data owner, or the use of such GenAI has been agreed upon in the Research Collaboration Agreement (RCA).

Therefore, GenAI (e.g. ChatGPT) should not be listed as an author of any paper with an affiliation to NTU; or listed as a Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI, or collaborator in any research proposals.

In the interests of transparency and integrity, the use of GenAI beyond basic spelling and grammar checks should be appropriately acknowledged and cited . This would include acknowledging the use of any AI tools in their research proposals, manuscripts, and scholarly works through a statement specifying the tool's full name and version, its purpose of use, and how it was used.

All AI-generated images, figures, and videos must be clearly labelled as such. Researchers are required to document the methods, tools, and parameters used to generate these visuals in sufficient detail to ensure reproducibility.

AI-generated images, figures and videos must not be presented as actual experimental data unless AI (or AI-assisted) tools are an essential component of the research design and/or methodology. The use of AI to fabricate images to resemble experimental results constitutes serious research misconduct.

Similarly, the substantive modification of genuine experimental images using AI tools is prohibited unless clearly described in the methodology.
