Information on use of generative AI
You must state or clearly annotate if you have included material from generative AI directly or in edited form in your assignment. Missing information or annotation will be treated as plagiarism.
As a general principle, it should be possible for the reader to ascertain how generative AI has contributed to the final product.
SDU guidelines specify the ways in which the use of the different types of GAI generative AI must be indicated in the assignment. See the guidelines on this page.
Good to know
If you break the rules, it will result in reporting as a breach of rules for disciplinary measures at SDU.
Generative AI tools are not necessarily GPDR compliant. Therefore, prompts must never contain personally sensitive or confidential information, including research-/trade secrets.
