Evidence 1

Plagiarism is defined as presenting, intentionally or unintentionally, the ideas or work of another person as one's own ideas, or work without appropriate referencing or acknowledgement. Plagiarism is the most common and well-known form of academic misconduct. It also includes unacknowledged use of a generative artificial intelligence tool such as ChatGPT

At ECU, the same rules of academic integrity that apply to traditional study also apply to Generative AI. That means honesty, fairness and doing your own work.

Submitting AI-generated work without permission is an academic integrity breach, just like plagiarism. It's also risky to trust AI to write your content as it may hallucinate information or sources.

Evidence-backed claims

ECU's academic-misconduct guidance states that plagiarism includes unacknowledged use of a generative artificial intelligence tool such as ChatGPT.

ECU tells students that the same academic-integrity rules that apply to traditional study also apply to generative AI, and that submitting AI-generated work without permission is an academic-integrity breach.

ECU Library guidance says students who use generative AI as a study or research tool must acknowledge that use in their assessment, and that not giving credit to GenAI tools counts as plagiarism.
