Aalto University research guidance says AI cannot be given authorship, AI use in the research process should be transparently described for reproducibility, and personal data should not be fed into an online AI tool.
Reviewed
Last checked
Original evidence
Evidence 1AI cannot be given authorship, as it is considered as a tool, and authorship always involves responsibility that AI cannot cover. The use of AI should be transparent by openly describing how AI is used in the research process so that others can reproduce your results. GDPR is to be followed, meaning that research data containing personal data should not be fed into an online AI tool.Evidence locator: Public Aalto webpage section
